fix(*): use generic self-types
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
`getOrElse` and `orElse` use self-types in order to support typed upper bounds.[0]

In TypeScript 2.4, generic functions were checked more strictly[1].
This causes the implicit downward type cast to fail, so we explicitly invoke the cast in the method
body.  This workaround is backwards-compatible with TypeScript 2.3.

Bounded polymorphism has been implemented[1], but true F-bounded polymorphism hasn't been.
This means a type like `interface` Option<A, B = Option<A, B>> is invalid.

Alternatively, we can solve this with a lower type bound, but these don't work against concrete
classes[2].

---

We should also upgrade monapt's TypeScript dependency to 2.4, but there are unrelated errors
compiling the tests.
