"Implementation Note*: So as to make the behavior of |variant|
more predictable in the aftermath of an exception, the current
implementation
prefers to default-construct |boost::blank| if specified as a bounded type
instead of other nothrow default-constructible bounded types. (If this is
deemed to be a useful feature, it will become part of the specification for
|variant|; otherwise, it may be obsoleted. Please provide feedback to the
Boost mailing list.)"
