Say I have a val s: Option[Option[String]]. It can thus have the following values:

Some(Some("foo"))
Some(None)
None

I want to reduce it so that the first becomes Some("foo") while the two others become None. Obviously there are many ways to accomplish this, but I’m looking for a simple, perhaps built-in, less-than-one-liner.

    As before,

    s getOrElse None
    

    (in addition to the other answers) will also do the same thing.
