+/**
+   A simple optional wrapper around a wrapped type with a pointer-like API
+
+   This works like a typical optional type, but only works with Wrapper types,
+   and exploits the fact that these are interally just pointers to avoid adding
+   space overhead for an "is_set" flag, like a generic optional class would.
+
+   Types must explicitly opt-in to being optional by providing a constructor
+   that takes a single ContructNullOptional argument.  This constructor should
+   only be used by the Optional implementation, which guarantees that such an
+   object will not be used except by calling its cobj() method.
