        Hi, There is common need of getting value from optional with possibility to define default value in case of the optional is uninitialized. I suggest two alternatives: optional<int> o; int i = o.get(123); // meber function get with additional parameter int j = from_optional(o, 123); // free function Both alternatives can be implemented simultaneously. What do you think about it? Regards, Vaclav
