Does this only unwrap optionals one layer? I.e. will * fail on a &Int??

Does this only unwrap optionals one layer? I.e. will * fail on a &Int??

Yes, only one layer of optionality is unwrapped, just like the optional chaining version did. This is also similar to how e.g. ! behaves.

To be honest, this is already quite some syntactic sugar, maybe we shouldn't even have this?

For example, the current behaviour is just ref == nil ? nil : *(ref!). Why would we have * unwrap multiple layers of optionality (or even consider optionality in the first place), while even ! isn't?

Yeah, that makes sense.

IMO this is useful for the same reason that optional chaining is; it makes a common case more convenient to use. You're right that this is doable another way, but it would probably be more frustrating to do that way. The same is true for optional chaining!

I'm happy with this only unwrapping one layer of the optional.

Good point, agreed!
