Here is a patch for the discussed changes.  I would be very interested
in seeing how the patch affects performance on platforms other then my
Duron box or my SPARC box.  The only divergence from the plan was
passing in a reference instead of a pointer for the
boost::optional<result_type>.

I'll be doing some performance testing and running some of the tests
with it later (hopefully today).  I'm inclined to think that these
changes have to run faster, but I'd like to be sure.
