Which you'd never write in practice since `expect` exists

Can you say more here, I don't have the context.

This code is identical to

  let file = file.expect("file was null");

That is, the "expect" method does exactly this.

I like Rust from what I've tried. But I'd have preferred something like this:

  let file = file.unwrapOrPanicWith("file was null");

option.expect(message) doesn't semantically make sense.
