But then again, I've had Some since I thought of it. I'm all about this free software idea, and I know that it could be useful to others. I suppose I'll just post information about Some and a sample implementation (combination of yours and mine) on my website or somesuch.

Just please, Please, PLEASE come up with a better name. Some is just too mysterious. Remember that it is not in most senses the opposite of None. And even if it was, Some would be a poor choice of name.
