    // a treated function to participate in overload resolution:
    //
    //   - The actual argument type matched by every keyword tag
    //     associated with a predicate must satisfy that predicate
    //
    //   - If a keyword k is specified without an optional<...> or
    //     required<...> wrapper, it is treated as though
    //     optional<k> were specified.
