The discussion mostly revolves around the design of the interface of `outcome::expected` and even `std::expected`. My questions here are about the way this library will be distributed to users. And I am uncomfortable with the situation. I am not necessarily saying it is wrong, but I do not understand what is going on here. 1. The current GitHub repository consists of sub-repos. Do you (Niall) plan to have it like this when the library is accepted? Is it relevant? 2. This macro BOOST_OUTCOME_DISABLE_PREPROCESSED_INTERFACE_FILE, it controls whether I use this "preprocessed" file versus if I use... what? Normal header files? What is gained by this preprocessed file? Not having to include more than one header, or something else? Can I get different results when compiling with and without this macro? 3. I am recommended to use this macro BOOST_OUTCOME_V1_NAMESPACE. I am told it has something to do with ABI stability? Can you elaborate on how this guarantees ABI stability. Or is its purpose different? I have a certain problem with understanding this philosophy. A couple of days back, I reported the compilation failure in MinGW. I can see that the issue (https://github.com/ned14/boost.outcome/issues/36) is reorted as fixed in branch 'develop'. I would like to confirm that the bug is fixed. I checkout branch develop. There is no branch develop for the sub-repos, so what am I supposed to checkout, master, or some particular commit? I went with master. I do not understand a lot of CMake, but since it is a header-only library, I assume that I can just #include the file "include/boost/outcome.hpp", and my programs (compiled manually) should compile. But the only change in the commit that was supposed to fix the bug, was in a .cmake file, so I cannot see how it would help fix a header only library. Also, would the fix be visible in a "precompiled" header, or normal headres, or both? I am not complaining about this particular fix. I would like to know how in this system of mcros, sub-modules and preprocessed headers, I can figure out what changes will be observed in my program, when I see a particular change in git sub-repo.
