Assigns contents to the contained value.
1) If *this is in engaged state before the call, the contained value is destroyed by calling its destructor. *this is in disengaged state after the call.
2-3) Assigns the state of 
other. 
 * If both *this and 
other are in disengaged states, the function has no effect.
 * If *this is in engaged state, but 
other is not, then the contained value is destroyed by calling its destructor. *this is in disengaged state after the call.
 * If 
other is in engaged state, then depending on whether *this is in engaged state, the contained value is either direct-constructed or assigned the contained value of other. The contained value is either copied (2), or moved (3).
4) Depending on whether *this is in engaged state before the call, the contained value is either direct-constructed from 
value or assigned value. T must be constructible and assignable from U, i.e. the following must hold:
std::is_constructible<T,U>::value == true && std::is_assignable<T,U>::value == true

*this
[edit] Exceptions
1) 
noexcept specification:  
noexcept
  
2-4) Throws any exception thrown by the constructor or assignment operator of 
T. If an exception is thrown, the initialization state of *this (and of other in case of (2) ) is unchanged, i.e. if the object was in engaged state, it is left in engaged state, and the other way round. The contents of value and the contained values of *this and other depend on the exception safety guarantees of the operation from which the exception originates (copy-constructor, move-assignment, etc.).
3) Throws any exception thrown by the constructor or assignment operator 
T. Has the following noexcept declaration: 
noexcept specification:  
noexcept(std::is_nothrow_move_assignable<T>::value && std::is_nothrow_move_constructible<T>::value)
