template< class G = E > constexpr E error_or( G&& default_value ) const&;	(1)	(since C++23)
template< class G = E > constexpr E error_or( G&& default_value ) &&;	(2)	(since C++23)

Returns the unexpected value if it exists, otherwise returns default_value.

1) If std::is_copy_constructible_v<E> or std::is_convertible_v<G, E> is false, the program is ill-formed.

2) If std::is_move_constructible_v<E> or std::is_convertible_v<G, E> is false, the program is ill-formed.

Parameters

default_value	-	the value to use in case *this does not contain an unexpected value
Type requirements

Return value

1) has_value() ? std::forward<G>(default_value) : error()

2) has_value() ? std::forward<G>(default_value) : std::move(error())
