Milestone:  Boost 1.37.0  |   Component:  optional 
  Version:  Boost 1.35.0  |    Severity:  Problem

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 The explicit-failures-markup for the {{{optional_test_ref}}} test is not
 informative enough to be useful to me.  OK, so there's a compiler bug.
 How does
 it affect the usability of the library?  What actually *is* the behavior
 of the
 library when I create optional<T&>?  Is it just the address-of operator
 that's
 broken, or does the optional not actually store the reference as it
 should?

 I'd appreciate it if you could improve this text.
