• newInstanceWithoutError

  public static <T> ReferenceWithError<T> newInstanceWithoutError(T object)

  returns a reference which includes an error, but attempts to get the content do not cause the error to throw

• masksErrorIfPresent

  public boolean masksErrorIfPresent()

  whether this will mask any error on an attempt to get(); if false (if created with newInstanceThrowingError(Object, Throwable)) a call to get() will throw if there is an error; true if created with newInstanceMaskingError(Object, Throwable) and get() will not throw
