If *this contains an expected value, returns a reference to the contained value. Returns nothing if T is (possibly cv-qualified) void.

Otherwise, throws an exception of type std::bad_expected_access<std::decay_t<E>> that contains a copy of error().

1,2) If std::is_copy_constructible_v<E> is false, the program is ill-formed.
3,4) If std::is_copy_constructible_v<E> or std::is_constructible_v<E, decltype(std::move(error()))> is false, the program is ill-formed.
5) If std::is_copy_constructible_v<E> is false, the program is ill-formed.
6) If std::is_move_constructible_v<E> is false, the program is ill-formed.

[edit] Exceptions

1,2,5) Throws std::bad_expected_access(std::as_const(error())) if *this contains an unexpected value.
3,4,6) Throws std::bad_expected_access(std::move(error())) if *this contains an unexpected value.
