I don't believe this is a good change sorry - it's a relatively large abstraction layer to "simplify" maybe two actual expressions.
If we really wanted to do something here I would probably just replace the optional<> with
```cpp
bool IsArraySizeDependent = false;
bool ... = false;
if (ArraySize) {
set all the "there is an array size" variables as appropriate
}
```
It seems the main concern is the compound conditions, which is consistent with what other code does, but I would prefer to reduce that in general.
But the issue here is not made better with an abstraction (the better option would be actual language support for optional in c++)
I've marked as "request changes" but I think this is probably the wrong tack, and I'm not sure the problem with new/delete Sema is this bit. There's so much more that is so much worse.
While not an option for clang any time soon, I have wondered if reflection could be used in a way to make this kind of thing more expensive.
