You're right about the need for .template here, but I'm not sure that the 
need to call this function would be frequent enough to justify putting it 
into the outer namespace (potentially std). Leaving it as a member seems an 
acceptable compromise to me.

Do you have any comments about my proposed expected<T, E...>? Overall 
impression? Good idea? Bad, no reason to waste time with it?
