Description

I think it would be useful to have a version of setTo which accepts an Option and only changes the object if the value being passed in is Some.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing setTo implementation and its tests, then read how Option values are handled in the surrounding API. Decide which proposed name fits the project’s conventions and cover the Some and None behaviors in tests; done means the new operation changes the object only for Some values.
