We should think up a better word than optional for getters that can return null (see Element::dataset and Element::optionalDataset). This word has been used in a few places, but we should do better. Some ideas from Maciej include:
nullableDataset? maybeDataset? datasetIfExists? datasetNoCreate?

"nullable" and "maybe" were the first ones that came to my mind when reading the other bug.
