 It would be useful to be able to specialize boost::optional's behavior
 when dereferencing uninitialized objects.  I would like to be able to
 explicitly configure optional with a policy to have the either the current
 "undefined behavior" (BOOST_ASSERT) semantics or to throw an exception
 when attempting to dereference an uninitialized optional value.

 A patch containing the rough outline of the code changes required is
 attached.
