Remarks

If a value is present, returns the result of applying the given Optional-bearing mapping function to the value, otherwise returns an empty Optional.

This method is similar to #map(Function), but the mapping function is one whose result is already an Optional, and if invoked, flatMap does not wrap it within an additional Optional.
