How about the attached version? The result is stored on the heap, which adds
some performance cost, but the once_flag itself doesn't need templating. I
haven't yet adjusted it to avoid this heap allocation for void functions.

It does mean that the initializer is now an aggregate initializer rather than
a constant, as for my original Semaphore-based version.
