```
server.Server.typed_option(self, name: &str) -> Result<Option<OptionValue>, Error>
```

Read one server option, decoded according to its declared kind.

The one way to read a single option; [`OptionValue`] says how reads
and writes fit together. `TmuxText::from(value)` recovers the exact
bytes tmux stored.

`None` means the option holds nothing: a built-in option that is unset,
or a user option that was never set. tmux prints nothing for an option
set to the empty string either, so that also reads as `None`.

# Errors

Returns an error when tmux does not recognize the option name.
