## Description
Currently, the signature for `Table.Get` is `func (K) (V, error)`. This is not very Go-idiomatic, which prefers to return a boolean instead of an error. For instance, a built-in Go map is used like so:
```go
if value, ok := users[id]; !ok {
// ...
}
```
Updating our table to look like that is best practice. In that same vein, to support direct lookup (i.e. `v := users[id]`), this PR also adds `Table.Find`.
## Changes
- BREAKING CHANGE: Update contract of `Table.Get` to `func (K) (V, bool)`. Returns 'false' is the item cannot be found, and 'true' if it is found.
- Add `Table.Find`.
- Updated tests and documentation to match the change.
### Design Decisions
- Chose to make this decision because throwing an error implies that there is something 'wrong' with the table. There is nothing wrong with the table; it is just that the item does not exist.
## Checklist
- [x] Tests pass
- [x] Docs updated
