Re: [boost] Deterimining interest in: Optional Polymorphic Value object with Small Object optimization

I don't think we can have a generic nonnullable<Z> that can select and forward only the correct constructors. You have to specialize it for every pointer-like class, so it doesn't simplify the developer work,

Right, it would lead to complexity in order to know the result type of dereference. So, why not nonnullable_poly(or something). boost::any and boost::function are nullable but those names don't have "optional_" prefix. Regards, -- Shunsuke Sogame
