Fast assert-type fail for expected #62

Closed elshize closed 5 years ago

elshize commented 5 years ago

nonstd::expected is sometimes cumbersome to use. Whenever you require it to has value, certain boilerplate is involved. But why not replace it with a specific type of assert that aborts the program if the variable has unexpected value.

Should work for any printable unexpected type.

Example:

auto result = something_returning_expected().get_value_or_abort();

Implemented as irtl::value() free function.
