Functional programming is all about values and transformation of values using functions. The Value type reflects the values in a functional setting. It can be seen as the result of a partial function application. Hence the result may be undefined. If a value is undefined, we say it is empty.
How the empty state is interpreted depends on the context, i.e. it may be undefined, failed, no elements, etc.
Basic operations:
Equality checks:
- corresponds(Iterable, BiPredicate)
- eq(Object)
Iterable extensions:
Side-effects:
Tests:
Type conversion:
Please note: flatMap signatures are manifold and have to be declared by subclasses of Value.

- Method Detail
 - narrow
```
static <T> Value<T> narrow(Value<? extends T> value)
```
 Deprecated.
 
 Narrows a widened Value<? extends T> to Value<T> by performing a type-safe cast. This is eligible because immutable/read-only types are covariant.
 
 Type Parameters:
 
 T - Component type of the Value.
 
 Parameters:
 
 value - A Value.
 
 Returns:
 
 the given value instance as narrowed type Value<T>.
 - collect
```
default <R,A> R collect(java.util.stream.Collector<? super T,A,R> collector)
```
 Deprecated.
 
 Collects the underlying value(s) (if present) using the provided collector.
 
 Type Parameters:
 
 A - the mutable accumulation type of the reduction operation
 
 R - the result type of the reduction operation
 
 Parameters:

 Returns:
 
 R reduction result
 - collect
```
default <R> R collect(java.util.function.Supplier<R> supplier,
 java.util.function.BiConsumer<R,? super T> accumulator,
 java.util.function.BiConsumer<R,R> combiner)
```
 Deprecated.
 
 Collects the underlying value(s) (if present) using the given supplier, accumulator and combiner.
 
 Type Parameters:
 
 R - type of the result
 
 Parameters:
 
 supplier - provide unit value for reduction
 
 accumulator - perform reduction with unit value
 
 combiner - function for combining two values, which must be compatible with the accumulator.
 
 Returns:
 
 R reduction result
 - contains
```
default boolean contains(T element)
```
 Deprecated.
 
 Shortcut for exists(e -> Objects.equals(e, element)), tests if the given element is contained.
 
 Parameters:
 
 element - An Object of type A, may be null.
 
 Returns:
 
 true, if element is contained, false otherwise.
 - corresponds
```
default  boolean corresponds(java.lang.Iterable that,
 java.util.function.BiPredicate<? super T,? super U> predicate)
```
 Deprecated.
 
 Tests whether every element of this iterable relates to the corresponding element of another iterable by satisfying a test predicate.
 
 Type Parameters:
 
 U - Component type of that iterable
 
 Parameters:
 
 that - the other iterable
 
 predicate - the test predicate, which relates elements from both iterables
 
 Returns:
 
 true if both iterables have the same length and predicate(x, y) is true for all corresponding elements x of this iterable and y of that, otherwise false.
 - eq
```
default boolean eq(java.lang.Object o)
```
 Deprecated.
 A smoothing replacement for equals. It is similar to Scala's == but better in the way that it is not limited to collection types, e.g. Some(1) eq List(1), None eq Failure(x) etc.
 In a nutshell: eq checks congruence of structures and equality of contained values.
 Example:
```
 // ((1, 2), ((3))) => structure: (()(())) values: 1, 2, 3
 final Value<?> i1 = List.of(List.of(1, 2), Arrays.asList(List.of(3)));
 final Value<?> i2 = Queue.of(Stream.of(1, 2), List.of(Lazy.of(() -> 3)));
 assertThat(i1.eq(i2)).isTrue();
 
```
 Semantics:
```
 o == this : true
 o instanceof Value : iterable elements are eq, non-iterable elements equals, for all (o1, o2) in (this, o)
 o instanceof Iterable : this eq Iterator.of((Iterable<?>) o);
 otherwise : false
 
```
 Parameters:
 
 o - An object
 
 Returns:
 
 true, if this equals o according to the rules defined above, otherwise false.

```
default boolean exists(java.util.function.Predicate<? super T> predicate)
```
 Deprecated.
 
 Checks, if an element exists such that the predicate holds.
 
 Parameters:
 
 predicate - A Predicate
 
 Returns:
 
 true, if predicate holds for one or more elements, false otherwise
 
 Throws:
 
 java.lang.NullPointerException - if predicate is null
 - forAll
```
default boolean forAll(java.util.function.Predicate<? super T> predicate)
```
 Deprecated.
 
 Checks, if the given predicate holds for all elements.
 
 Parameters:
 
 predicate - A Predicate
 
 Returns:
 
 true, if the predicate holds for all elements, false otherwise
 
 Throws:
 
 java.lang.NullPointerException - if predicate is null
 - forEach
```

```
 Deprecated.

 forEach in interface java.lang.Iterable<T>
 
 Parameters:
 
 action - A Consumer
 
 Throws:
 
 java.lang.NullPointerException - if action is null
 - get
```
T get()
```
 Deprecated.
 
 Gets the underlying value or throws if no value is present.
 IMPORTANT! This method will throw an undeclared Throwable if isEmpty() == true is true.
 Because the 'empty' state indicates that there is no value present that can be returned, get() has to throw in such a case. Generally, implementing classes should throw a NoSuchElementException if isEmpty() returns true.
 However, there exist use-cases, where implementations may throw other exceptions. See Try.get().
 Additional note: Dynamic proxies will wrap an undeclared exception in a UndeclaredThrowableException.
 
 Returns:
 
 the underlying value if this is not empty, otherwise get() throws a Throwable

```
 Deprecated.
 
 Returns the underlying value if present, otherwise other.
 
 Parameters:

```
default T getOrElse(java.util.function.Supplier<? extends T> supplier)
```
 Deprecated.
 
 Returns the underlying value if present, otherwise other.
 
 Parameters:
 
 supplier - An alternative value supplier.
 
 Returns:
 
 A value of type T
 
 Throws:
 
 java.lang.NullPointerException - if supplier is null
