Thanks for digging into this. I think it's correct, but helpful to step through:

Its correctness depends on `MakeValue`, so I'll focus on that in particular. For the `nullptr` case, we'll get:
```
HasValueVal && ContentsNotEqX
```
So, when `has_value == true`, this basically reduces to `ContentsNotEqX`. Since that's an atom, the result is indeterminate, which I believe is the desired outcome.

WDYT?  Also, even if I've convinced you, please let me know how i can improve the comments. For that matter, would `MakeValue` be better with a more specific name, like "MakePredicate" or somesuch?
