Function unwrapOr

Safely get the value out of a Maybe.

import Maybe from 'true-myth/maybe';

const notAString = Maybe.nothing<string>();
const isAString = Maybe.just('look ma! some characters!');

console.log(Maybe.unwrapOr('<empty>', notAString));  // "<empty>"
console.log(Maybe.unwrapOr('<empty>', isAString));  // "look ma! some characters!"
