+The specialization `hash<optional<T>>`` is enabled if and only if
+`hash<remove_­const_­t<T>> is enabled. When enabled, for an object `o`
+of type `optional<T>``, if `o.has_­value() == true`, then `hash<optional<T>>()(o)`
+ evaluates to the same value as `hash<remove_­const_­t<T>>()(*o)``; otherwise it
+evaluates to an unspecified value.
+The member functions are not guaranteed to be `noexcept`.
+
+[caution
+You may get compiler errors when your program provides specializations for
+`std::hash<boost::optional<T>>`. If this happens, define macro
+`BOOST_OPTIONAL_CONFIG_DO_NOT_SPECIALIZE_STD_HASH` to suppress the specializations
+of `std::hash` in this library.
