Niall, Are Boost.Outcome monads intended to work with references (at least lvalue references)?

If I try it with `outcome::expected` I also get these messages, but I also get a static assert saying that as per LWG decision T must be default constructible.

Vicente, does this mean you cannot use `std::expected` to return references?

The proposal doesn't includes it. I have a open point to know if the committee is interested in. As we don't have yet optional I believed that it could be done later on. However variant supports references, isn't it? Vicente
