-------------------------------------------------------------
Starting to work on the specification:
Persistent Object Model 6.4.3
java.lang.Optional
JDO implementations must support fields of type Optional<T> where T is any
supported Object type. They may be mapped to nullable datastore types or to
Optional<T> types at the option of the JDO implementation.
When instantiating an instance from the datastore, the JDO implementation would
get the value v from the datastore and assign the field f =
Optional<T>.ofNullable(v). When storing the field in the datastore, the
persistence implementation would store the result of v =
f.isPresent()?f.get():null.

> java.util.Optional provides a feature that is available in other languages.
> Since JDO 3.2 will be for Java8+ then it makes sense to add support for this
> as a "supported persistable type"
