Another, probably easier, approach would be to customize the parsing
constructor for Outer. In it you will fist call the OuterBase version
and then initialize the missing optional elements with default value.
This way you won't need to "hide" any functions. The only drawback of
this approach is that the user of your object model will still have to
go though the optional interface though the check for presence is no
longer necessary.
