Hi Jeff,
We have a handful of VS2005 visualizers for boost types.  Here's what we
use for boost::optional.  Try plugging this into the [Visualizers]
section of your autoexp.dat and see if it is the kind of thing you are
looking for:
boost::optional<*>{
   preview
   (
     #if( !$c.m_initialized )
     (
       #( "Uninitialized" )
     )
     #else
     (
       #( *($T1*)&$c.m_storage.dummy_.data[0] )
     )
   )
}
Dave, you have made my day.  This is exactly what I need.  It works  
perfectly!

Now, how do people feel about an update to the documentation with this  
debugger-specific nugget?  Do other debuggers have similar facilities?

Jeff
