Constructs a new expected object.

1) Default constructor. If T is not (possibly cv-qualified) void, constructs an object that contains an expected value, which is value-initialized.

After construction, has_value() returns true.

This overload participates in overload resolution only if T is (possibly cv-qualified) void or std::is_default_constructible_v<T> is true.

2) Copy constructor. If other.has_value() is false, the new object contains an unexpected value, which is direct-initialized from other.error(). Otherwise, if T is not (possibly cv-qualified) void, the new object contains an expected value, which is direct-initialized from *other.

After construction, has_value() is equal to other.has_value().

This constructor is defined as deleted unless
- either T is (possibly cv-qualified) void, or std::is_copy_constructible_v<T> is true, and
- std::is_copy_constructible_v<E> is true.
This constructor is trivial if
- either T is (possibly cv-qualified) void, or std::is_trivially_copy_constructible_v<T> is true, and
- std::is_trivially_copy_constructible_v<E> is true.

3) Move constructor. If other.has_value() is false, the new object contains an unexpected value, which is direct-initialized from std::move(other.error()). Otherwise, if T is not (possibly cv-qualified) void, the new object contains an expected value, which is direct-initialized from std::move(*other).

After construction, has_value() is equal to other.has_value().

This constructor participates in overload resolution only if
- either T is (possibly cv-qualified) void, or std::is_move_constructible_v<T> is true, and
- std::is_move_constructible_v<E> is true.
This constructor is trivial if
- std::is_trivially_move_constructible_v<T> is true, and
- std::is_trivially_move_constructible_v<E> is true.

4,5) Let

UF be std::add_lvalue_reference_t<const U> for (4) and U for (5), and
GF be const G& for (4) and G for (5).

If other.has_value() is false, the new object contains an unexpected value, which is direct-initialized from std::forward<GF>(other.error()). Otherwise, if T is not (possibly cv-qualified) void, the new object contains an expected value, which is direct-initialized from std::forward<UF>(*other). After construction, has_value() is equal to other.has_value().

Each of these constructors does not participate in overload resolution unless the following conditions are met respectively:
- Either
 - T is (possibly cv-qualified) void, and std::is_void_v is true, or
 - std::is_constructible_v<T, UF> is true.
- std::is_constructible_v<E, GF> is true.
- If T is not (possibly cv-qualified bool), T is not constructible or convertible from any expression of type (possibly const) std::expected<U, G>, i.e., the following 8 values are all false:
 - std::is_constructible_v<T, std::expected<U, G>&
 - std::is_constructible_v<T, std::expected<U, G>
 - std::is_constructible_v<T, const std::expected<U, G>&
 - std::is_constructible_v<T, const std::expected<U, G>
 - std::is_convertible_v<std::expected<U, G>&, T>
 - std::is_convertible_v<std::expected<U, G>, T>
 - std::is_convertible_v<const std::expected<U, G>&, T>
 - std::is_convertible_v<const std::expected<U, G>, T>
- std::unexpected<E> is not constructible from any expression of type (possibly const) std::expected<U, G>, i.e., the following 4 values are all false:
 - std::is_constructible_v<std::unexpected<E>, std::expected<U, G>&
 - std::is_constructible_v<std::unexpected<E>, std::expected<U, G>
 - std::is_constructible_v<std::unexpected<E>, const std::expected<U, G>&
 - std::is_constructible_v<std::unexpected<E>, const std::expected<U, G>
These constructors are explicit if std::is_convertible_v<UF, T> or std::is_convertible_v<GF, E> is false.

6) Constructs an object that contains an expected value, initialized as if direct-initializing (but not direct-list-initializing) an object of type T with the expression std::forward(v).

After construction, has_value() returns true.

This constructor does not participate in overload resolution unless the following conditions are met:
- T is not (possibly cv-qualified) void.
- std::is_same_v<std::remove_cvref_t, std::in_place_t> is false.
- std::is_same_v<expected, std::remove_cvref_t> is false.
- std::is_constructible_v<T, U> is true.
- std::remove_cvref_t is not a specialization of std::unexpected.
- If T is (possibly cv-qualified) bool, std::remove_cvref_t is not a specialization of std::expected.

7,8) Let GF be const G& for (7) and G for (8).

Constructs an object that contains an unexpected value, which is direct-initialized from std::forward<GF>(e.error()). After construction, has_value() returns false.

These overloads participate in overload resolution only if std::is_constructible_v<E, GF> is true.

9) Constructs an object that contains an expected value, which is direct-initialized from the arguments std::forward<Args>(args)....

After construction, has_value() returns true.

This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_constructible_v<T, Args...> is true.

10) Constructs an object that contains an expected value, which is direct-initialized from the arguments il, std::forward<Args>(args)....

After construction, has_value() returns true.

This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_constructible_v<T, std::initializer_list&, Args...> is true.

11) Constructs an object such that after construction, has_value() returns true.

12) Constructs an object that contains an unexpected value, which is direct-initialized from the arguments std::forward<Args>(args)....

After construction, has_value() returns false.

This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_constructible_v<E, Args...> is true.

13) Constructs an object that contains an unexpected value, which is direct-initialized from the arguments il, std::forward<Args>(args)....

After construction, has_value() returns false.

This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_constructible_v<E, std::initializer_list&, Args...> is true.
