Serializable being inferred instead of String where Modifier is needed

[Stewart Stewart]

So, the following results in a type error:

import scalatags.Text.all._
div(Some("string").getOrElse("string"))

<console>:13: error: type mismatch;
 found   : java.io.Serializable
 required: scalatags.Text.Modifier

 
To get around this, I either have to

div(Some("string").getOrElse[String]("string"))

or

div(Some("string").getOrElse("string"): String)

Is there an easy way to eliminate the need for type anotations? If notcould someone explain to me why?

For reference, this is discussed in issue#16 in the github. TLDR; there's nothing we can do about it.
