Description

@OndrejSpanel

Add diff to Option for a symmetry with Seq. Reference implementation:

  implicit class OptionValueOps[T](private val o: Option[T]) extends AnyVal {
    final def diff(that: Option[T]): Option[T] = {
      if (that.exists(o.contains)) None
      else o
    }
  }

    It can be even made a little bit more general:

    implicit class OptionValueOps[T](private val o: Option[T]) extends AnyVal {
      final def diff(that: Iterable[T]): Option[T] = {
        if (o.exists(that.contains)) None
        else o
      }
    }

    Note: o.exists(that.contains) should be more performant than that.exists(o.contains) when that.contains is more efficient than that.exists, e.g. for Set.
