  30       <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">optional</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> is
  31       currently implemented using a custom aligned storage facility built from <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">alignment_of</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">type_with_alignment</span></code>
  32       (both from Type Traits). It uses a separate boolean flag to indicate the initialization
  33       state. Placement new with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
  34       copy/move constructor and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s
  35       destructor are explicitly used to initialize, copy, move and destroy optional
  36       values. As a result, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>'s default
  37       constructor is effectively by-passed, but the exception guarantees are basic.
  38       It is planned to replace the current implementation with another with stronger
  39       exception safety, such as a future <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">variant</span></code>.
