- 代わりに ✨ **`Union[SomeType, None]` を使いましょう** ✨。

どちらも等価で内部的には同一ですが、「optional（任意）」という語が値が任意だと誤解させやすく、実際の意味は「`None` を取り得る」であり、任意ではなく依然として必須である場合でもそうです。そのため `Optional` より `Union` を勧めます。

`Union[SomeType, None]` の方が意味がより明確だと思います。

これは用語や名前付けの話に過ぎませんが、その言葉があなたやチームメイトのコードの捉え方に影響します。

例として次の関数を見てみましょう:

```python
from typing import Optional


def say_hi(name: Optional[str]):
    print(f"Hey {name}!")
```
