And now the question
can this be used with VC6 ?

Yes :-))
I've uploaded the new version which compiles and runs properly with VC6.0
Got it, thanks :-)

But back to the other point
I think it would be nice the have an optional that could be used for nice function arguments
(the posts between you and Gennadiy give reaons I hadn't though of)

I agree that it can be done using pointers and wrappers but so can the return value, optional is a wrapper for this type of behaviour so having a second wrapper for an almost identical purpose seems bad :-(

Would some sort of specialisation be possible ?
or a small wrapper class to allow the other syntax while leaving the current (safer) version as default?
