Niall:

Over here I see a "boost-lite" submodule which exports public interfaces:
https://github.com/ned14/boost.outcome/tree/master/include/boost/outcome

But then in this README.md
https://github.com/ned14/boost-lite/blob/master/Readme.md

It says

"Herein is a set of tooling to enable a Boost library to swap in the
C++11 standard library instead of Boost..."

If Outcome requires C++14 (or maybe C++17?) what is the value of
including within Outcome a library which allows you to use C++11
standard library instead of boost? In other words, Outcome could
already be written against the C++ standard library facilities, since
they are guaranteed to be there in all versions of C++ which Outcome
supports.

I also see things in boost-lite like array, thread,
condition_variable, are those part of the public interfaces being
proposed?

Thanks
