In fact, it wouldn't even compile, because optional is a template. But I
get what you mean, and I like it.
boost::optional<int> opt = mymap["fee"]["far"];
throws if fee/far exists and is not convertible to int, returns none if
fee/far does not exist, returns the converted value if it exists and is
convertible.
