As for the use-case with the function returning a pair of iterators that we'd like to assign to optionals via a tie(), I think there should also be a different method in the interface which returns the "hole" in an empty optional where a new value can be constructed. See, e.g., my earlier message which defined an interface with operator+() and operator~().
I agree that it seems reasonable to have something other then get() return the "hole". operator+() might be confusing when used with optional<int>'s or other numeric types, so perhaps something like unchecked_reference(), or unwrap() or any other non-operator() would be best when getting at the "hole".
