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

    This function attempts to convert a @ref value
    to `T` using

    @li one of @ref value's accessors, or

    @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
    T tag_invoke( value_to_tag<T>, value );
    @endcode

    The object returned by the function call is
    returned by @ref value_to as the result of the
    conversion.

    @par Constraints
    @code
    ! std::is_reference< T >::value

    @tparam T The type to convert to.

/** Convert a @ref value to a @ref result of `T`.

    This function attempts to convert a @ref value
    to `result<T>` using

    @li one of @ref value's accessors, or

    @li a library-provided generic conversion, or

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

    Out of the box the function supports types satisfying

    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
    result<T> tag_invoke( try_value_to_tag<T>, value const& );
    @endcode

    If an error occurs during conversion, the result will store the error code
    associated with the error. If an exception is thrown, the function will
    attempt to retrieve the associated error code and return it, otherwise it
    will return `error::exception`.
