36 Added two new in-place constructors. They work similarly to
<code class=
"computeroutput"><span class=
"identifier">emplace
</span><span class=
"special">()
</span></code>
37 functions: they initialize the contained value by perfect-forwarding the
38 obtained arguments. One constructor always initializes the contained value,
39 the other based on a boolean condition.

64 the

65 reference is that of a pointer,
68 some bugs connected to copying optional references are gone,
71 all run-time bugs caused by incorrect reference binding on some compilers
72 are now turned into compile-time errors,
75 you can swap optional references: it is like swapping pointers: shalow,
76 underlying objects are not affected,
79 optional references to abstract types work.
