/** Convert an object of type `T` to @ref value.

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

    @li one of @ref value's constructors,

    @li a library-provided generic conversion, or

    @li a user-provided overload of `tag_invoke`.

    Out of the box the function supports types satisfying
    <a href="https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/SequenceContainer"><em>SequenceContainer</em></a>,
    arrays, arithmetic types, `bool`, `std::tuple`, `std::pair`,
    `std::variant`, `std::optional`, `std::monostate`, and `std::nullopt_t`.

    Conversion of other types is done by calling an overload of `tag_invoke`
    found by argument-dependent lookup. Its signature should be similar to:

    @code
    void tag_invoke( value_from_tag, value&, T );
    @endcode

    @par Exception Safety
    Strong guarantee.

    @tparam T The type of the object to convert.

    @param t The object to convert.

    @param jv @ref value out parameter.

    parameter is `{}`.
