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:
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)
```
    Narrows a widened Value<? extends T> to Value<T> by performing a type safe-cast. This is eligible because immutable/read-only collections are covariant.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - Component type of the Value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - A Value.
    
    Returns:
    
    the given value instance as narrowed type Value<T>.
  - contains
```
default boolean contains(T element)
```
    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 <U> boolean corresponds(Iterable<U> that,
                                BiPredicate<? super T,? super U> predicate)
```
    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(Object o)
```
    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.
