This is what I ended up pushing, thanks to both of you for your comments.

Subject: [PATCH] dwarf2read: replace gdb::optional<bool> with enum
gdb::optional<bool> is dangerous, because it's easy to do:
if (opt_bool)
when you actually meant
if (*opt_bool)
or vice-versa. The first checks if the optional is set, the second
checks if the wrapped bool is true.
Replace it with an enum that explicitly defines the three possible
states.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (dw2_debug_names_iterator::next): Use enum to
represent whether the symbol is static, dynamic, or we don't
know.
