A very typical use-case would be getting something from a HashMap (or a Vector) and calling unwrap because you know it must exist (as you got a reference to the index or object that must be valid in the HashMap or Vector).
Or if you call a function that returns Option<…> depending on the current state and you know that it must return Some(…) in the current situation.
If it’s guaranteed to not be
None, why is it anOption?Oh, it can happen when you do calculations with compile-time constants…
But the GP’s claim that it’s a “frequent” thing is suspect.
(Crashing is also useful when you are writing and-user applications, but you’ll probably want .expect like in the meme.)
