It's worth noting that `Option(null)` is `None`. And while it's possible for any reference to be assigned `null`, it rarely happens in Scala code as a) it's well known to be bad form, and b) the IDE's can be configured to yell at you about it. Practically speaking (from the middle), it's not a problem.
