+## Optional Options
+
+The Java language does not allow optional parameters (like many other languages do), however the same effect can be achieved with method overloading.  
+Therefore for every method that has an Options parameter, there is a corresponding method that does not.
+That method simply calls the other method with a `new Options()`.
+For example:
+```java
+public static void method(A a, B b) {
+  method(a, b, new Options());
+}
+```
