// Recent changes to Boost.Optional involving assigment broke Boost.Iostreams,
// in a way which could be remedied only by relying on the deprecated reset
// functions; with VC6, even reset didn't work. Until this problem is 
// understood, Iostreams will use a private version of optional with a smart 
// pointer interface.
