I hope this will help.

Maybe you should/could create a PR, then in the future (if and when it get's merged, you don't have to fiddle with the boost code either).

Code similar to what Xavier posted is in Boost 1.65+, but if you want to support earlier versions of Boost (or use std::optional instead of boost::optional), you have to do something like that. It would probably be worth adding an overload that works with std::optional, but I don't know if I'll have time in the near future to shepherd a patch into Boost. - Jim
