For the same reason I'd like to see values of ints or doubles. It's not because I don't trust boost::optional, but because I simply want to see the value.
In that case, isn't what needs to be improved your debugger rather than boost::optional?
By the time the value has been stored in boost::optional, it has been stripped of all type information (as far as I can see). VS8 is actually pretty good at looking at values, and is the best debugger I've seen, although my experience it admittedly limited. I don't know if I'd expect a debugger to make sense of the aligned_memory construct used in boost::optional. Jeff Faust
