If simply making the specialization illegal allows us to drop the issue and move forward, that alone makes it worthwhile for me!
I won't give up so easity ;) I rather give up direct value assignment which seems to be the real root of the unexpected semantics. I suppose anyone will expect _this_ to rebind: o = optional<int&>(v); And that assignment alone is all that is really needed. The other is just sugar for that.
Optional looks like a great library for TR2, I would hate to see it lose its way in contentious issues.
Me too :-) But I think we can still save the wale, I mean, the reference.
And I doubt the pointer-like interface debate can be so easily swept aside ;?)
