[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0187: Introduce Sequence.filterMap(_:)

[Tino Heth]

> This is a wonderful example! But it’s an argument for a different discussion (of general usefulness of implicit optional promotion). Thanks to the optional promotion, what the closure returns is not nil, but instead is .some(nil), and that is not filtered out.
My point is: The proposed filterMap isn’t a combination of map and filter at all — or can you build it just out of map & filter, like flatMap is constructed from map & flatten?
