I can't speek to the solution itself but I would find it very useful. It's a productivity 
issue. In the end the gains of using optional have to be weighed against its drawbacks. 
Lack of inspectability is a big minus. It goes so far that it limits adoption here.

With respect to this being rather a debugger problem: I've entertained that thought for a 
moment but then I realized I can't stop writing code while the debugger is getting fixed. 
In practice it's a library issue.
