 *
 * OptFieldWithPresenceInd is a class modeling an optional field (in an Information Element, a
 * management frame, etc.) having an associated Presence Indicator bit. This class is a wrapper
 * around std::optional (most of its functions are exposed, more can be added if needed) that
 * additionally sets the Presence Indicator flag appropriately when operations like reset or
 * assignment of a value are performed on the optional field.
