You check and unpack once, then the rest of the "positive" codepath can use the reference without fearing null.

I fail to see how Rust would offer twice as many ways to shoot yourself in the foot ; this is a rather safe and picky language.

I'm way more hopeful in a fully decentralized protocol like Forgefed* than some AT still-centralized thing.

Under Firefox Focus I can read it if I manually zoom and scroll. Not ideal.
