I would expect it to be the monadic lift (see Lifting binary operations, e.g. T+T → Option<T> + Option<T> - #8 by scottmcm), so those would be fine, and would just stay None
if they're ever None
(kinda like a null object pattern).
The particularly interesting thing to me about them is that they should probably be PartialOrd
but not Ord
-- like in SQL, the None
should be neither greater, less, nor equal to zero.
