+# go-opt
+
+Package **opt** provides alternatives to Go's built-in types (bool, float64, int64, string, time.Time)
+that also let you express a "lack of a value"; for the Go programming language;
+these are similar to "option types" or "maybe types" in some other programming languages.
+
+(Code for this was generated using https://github.com/reiver/gogen-optiontype )
