It's not clear from the example that this inliner
lexical_cast< optional<int> >("x").get_value_or(-1);
is a replacement for
lexical_cast("x", -1);
It's not conceptually correct but we already have an exception for
handling spaces in strings. I should think about making one more
exception for optional<T>. Though, the inliner is not short,
not sure people will like it.
