Not an answer to your question to Vinnie, but perhaps to set context -- the
general shape of this library has been reviewed and discussed by many c++
experts.  The Introduction section of the docs should really have a link to
the reference below which provides deep motivation and discussion.
Unfortunately just pointing at the 'Technical Specification' just shows the
result and not the details that led to it.

https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p0052r10.pdf

I'd also mention there's a high likelihood of this facility being proposed
for the standard either in 26 or 29.
