I think you're taking it too negatively.
Perhaps. Maybe it's just the scars from trying to get optional into C++14. Whenever expected or variant gets discussed in committee, the question of "Do we still need optional?" gets raised. The answer in favor of optional is yes because it has a much better interface. If the interface is in flux, well, that argument isn't very compelling. While I will continue to vote strongly in favor of adding optional to C++17, I might not participate in the battles to help make that happen, since I am far more interested in forward progress than churn for churn's sake. But that is just me. -- Nevin ":-)" Liber mailto:nevin@eviloverlord.com (847) 691-1404
