 <p>Post-formal review:</p>
-<blockquote>
-<p>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&lt;&gt;/smart pointer
-and about relational operators.<br>
-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.<br>
-Augustus Saunders also explored the different relational
-semantics between optional&lt;&gt; and a pointer and developed the
-OptionalPointee concept as an aid against potential conflicts on generic code.<br>
-Joel de Guzman noticed that optional&lt;&gt; can be seen as an
-API on top of variant&lt;T,nil_t&gt;.<br>
-Dave Gomboc explained the meaning and usage of the Haskell analog to optional&lt;&gt;:
-the Maybe type constructor (analogy originally pointed out by David Sankel).<br>
-Other comments were posted by Vincent Finn, Anthony Williams, Ed Brey, Rob Stewart,
-and others.<br>
-Joel de Guzman made the case for the support of references and helped with the 
-proper semantics.</p>
