Description

This function attempts to convert an object of type T to value using

In all cases, the conversion is done by calling an overload of tag_invoke found by argument-dependent lookup. Its signature should be similar to:

void tag_invoke( value_from_tag, value&, T );

A value constructed with the storage_ptr passed to value_from is passed as the second argument to ensure that the memory resource is correctly propagated.
