/* This class attempts to be a compatible subset of std::optional,
   which is slated to be available in C++17.  This class optionally
   holds an object of some type -- by default it is constructed not
   holding an object, but later the object can be "emplaced".  This is
   similar to using std::unique_ptr, but in-object allocation is
   guaranteed.

   Unlike std::optional, we currently only support copy/move
   construction/assignment of an optional<T> from either exactly
   optional<T> or T.  I.e., we don't support copy/move
   construction/assignment from optional<U> or U, when U is a type
   convertible to T.  Making that work depending on the definitions of
   T and U is somewhat complicated, and currently the users of this
   class don't need it.  */
