The author argues that explicit unwrap() is good because it forces you to realize the value may be empty and think "Oh crap, I better handle that too." But the docs you linked say that "most usage of a mutex will simply unwrap these results" and not try to handle the case. So it seems like the explicit unwrap() here is not preventing any bugs, it's just adding noise. Wouldn't automatic unwrap be better, at least in this case?
