Options are a very misunderstood abstraction that we have done a poor job explaining. Those blog posts are simplistic and don't explain what you gain and lose by using the options abstraction.

Yes, indeed you have. I've tried to both skim and read the "introductory" documentation for `Options<T>` and the only gain I could figure out is monitoring + refresh. I still have no idea how to use it though, so I don't.
