William Kempf carefully considered the originally proposed interface and
|
||||
suggested the new interface which is currently used. He also started and
|
||||
fueled the discussion about the analogy optional<>/smart pointer and

about relational operators.

<li>
|

<li class="listitem">
|
||||
Peter Dimov, Joel de Guzman, David Abrahams, Tanton Gibbs and Ian Hanson
|
||||
focused on the relational semantics of optional (originally undefined); concluding
|
||||
with the fact that the pointer-like interface doesn't make it a pointer so
|
||||
it shall have deep relational operators.

</li>
|

<li>
|

<li class="listitem">
|

Augustus Saunders also explored the different relational semantics between
|
||||
optional<> and a pointer and developed the OptionalPointee concept
|
||||
as an aid against potential conflicts on generic code.

</li>
|

<li>

<li class="listitem">
|

Joel de Guzman noticed that optional<> can be seen as an API on top

of variant<T,nil_t>.

|

Dave Gomboc explained the meaning and usage of the Haskell analog to optional<>:

the Maybe type constructor (analogy originally pointed out by David Sankel).
