3description = "A boolean concept matching types with either a value or an error."

6If on C++ 20 or the Concepts TS is enabled, a boolean concept matching types with a public `.has_value()` observer which returns `bool`, a public `.value()` observer function, and a public `.error()` observer function.
7
8If without Concepts, a static constexpr bool which is true for types matching the same requirements, using a SFINAE based emulation.

10This concept matches expected-like types such as {{% api "std::expected<T, E>" %}}, one of which is {{% api "basic_result<T, E, NoValuePolicy>" %}}. Be aware it does not differentiate between value-or-error types and value-and-error types if they present the interface matched above.
