Optional provides simple, flexible, optional compilation of LaTeX
documents. Option switches may be given via package options, by the
\UseOption command, or interactively via the \AskOption command (help
text may be provided, by defining the \ExplainOptions command). The
package is not robust, in the way that comment package is, against
ill-behaved text. In particular, verbatim text may not be directly
included in optional sections (whether they're included or not). Package
documentation is included in comments within the package itself.
If you have \cite commands in \section-like commands, or in \caption,
the citation will also appear in the table of contents, or list of
whatever. If you are also using an unsrt- like bibliography style, these
citations will come at the very start of the bibliography, which is
confusing. This package suppresses the effect.
Use \nolbreaks{some text} to prevent line breaks in "some text". This
has the advantage over \mbox{} that glue (rubber space) remains
flexible. Most common cases are handled here (\linebreak is disabled,
for example) but spaces hidden in macros or { } can still create
break-points.

in length (STR #3072)
