  Version:  Boost Development Trunk             |  property_tree

------------------------------------------------+--------------------------
 The documentation of boost::property_tree::ptree::get_child_optional()
 states "Get the child at the given path, or return boost::null.".

 However, optional<self_type&>() is returned instead of boost::null.
