Hello Wayne,

also boost::optional will be left as well, since std::optional is only 
available in c++14.
That being said: the std implementations usually come dircetly from the 
compiler vendors and are supposedly lighter on the compiler, without all 
the necessary macro-indirection-stuff in boost trying to get it to 
compile on all platforms and all compilers and all versions with all bugs.
