is quite easy to read IMO. No need for another overload. We might as well take advantage of the fact that pointers are "optional" by default. There is no need to complicate things.
Surely this could be used as an argument for pointers instead of optionals for every use of optional.
I see it as only an argument for usage of pointers over optional references, since optionals copy their template argument type by value and are thus generally quite un-pointer like. Personally, I don't think I've ever bothered using an optional reference (but I have made use of optionals). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk3CoQUACgkQ5vihyNWuA4W2vACffSImLEj4SPOn7wYJOUPK5ktm vvAAoKZ0IQ8mEcjLA9EkeoPaVnbxCt9C =CV8p -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
