Scala: Boolean to Option

Question

I have a Boolean and would like to avoid this pattern:

if (myBool) 
  Option(someResult) 
else 
  None

What I\'d like to do is

Answer 1

scala> PartialFunction.condOpt(5) { case x if true => x }
res9: Option[Int] = Some(5)

scala> PartialFunction.condOpt(5) { case x if false => x }
res10: Option[Int] = None

Here, the guard holds the condition and the value passed to condOpt is the value returned if the guard evaluates to true.
