Do you mean empty angle brackets in the make functions? i.e.
outcome::make_exceptional_outcome<>()?

If so, they are superfluous and can be omitted, they were there for
exposition only (see the functions docs and you'll see why). The code
compiles fine without them. If you feel that they ought to be removed
from the code examples in the docs, please do say so during your review,
though as I mention they were deliberately left in to remind people look
up the API docs.
