Description

Hi,
I see try_dequeue expects a reference it copies the value over; however that may not be desirable especially for non default constructible types.

Instead of adding workarounds outside the library, why not just return an std::optional from try_dequeue?

Research direction

Start at the try_dequeue entry point and trace how it currently receives and copies values. Assess the proposed std::optional API against the repository's C++11 compatibility and existing call sites; no files or tests are named in the issue. Done requires an agreed API design plus coverage for non-default-constructible types.
