--- Comment #4 from Richard Smith <richard-llvm at metafoo.co.uk> ---
OK, I see what's happening -- in Clang 3.3 and GCC 4.8, 'false' is being
treated as a null pointer constant. boost::optional implicitly converts to an
"unspecified-bool-type" that happens to be a pointer-to-member type, and thus
can be compared against a null pointer constant via the built-in
operator!=(pointer-to-member, pointer-to-member) overload.

In C++11 onwards, 'false' isn't a null pointer constant any more, so this
comparison is no longer valid. Clang 3.3 and GCC 4.8 don't implement that rule;
Clang 3.4 does.

 => INVALID
