Re: [boost] [outcome] How to drop the formal empty state

But you still get exactly that *if* you ask for it:

result<T> function() { result<T> r(empty);

Sure, but explicitly asking for it correlates negatively with making the logic error of not overwriting it, and there are also C-style arrays to consider.
