   a builtin or small POD, this technique is very poor in terms of required resources.
   Optional objects are essentially values so it is very convenient to be able to use automatic
   storage and deep-copy semantics to manipulate optional values just as we do with ordinary
-  values. Pointers do not have this semantics, so are unapprorpiate for the initialization and

   transport of optional values, yet are quite convenient for handling the access to the
   possible undefined value because of the idiomatic aid present in the OptionalPointee
