 This has been reported by Karol Nowacki. The following program compiles
 although it shoudl not.

 {{{
 #include <boost/optional.hpp>

 enum E1 {e1};
 enum E2 {e2};

 int main()
 {
   boost::optional<E2> o2(e2);
   boost::optional<E1> o1;
   o1 = o2; // SHOULD NOT WORK
 }
 }}}

 It should not compile given that the following do not compile:



 {{{
 E1 v1 = e2; // FAILS
 E1 v1_;
 v1_ = e2;   // FAILS
 }}}
