/** @file result.hpp
** Intermediary value object to represent the result of an operation.
** This operation might have produced a value result or failed with an exception.
** Typically, the Result token is used _inline_ -- immediately either invoking
** one of the member function or employing the built-in result type conversion.
** It will be copyable iff the result value is copyable. There is an implicit
** valid or failure state, which can be tested. Any attempt to get the value
** of an invalid result token will cause an exception to be thrown.
**
** @see vault::ThreadJoinable usage example
