Refactor use of std::nontype to use std::constant_wrapper instead per P3948#196
Conversation
… P3948 std::nontype no longer exists in the C++ standard draft, as it was removed by P3948 (and, previously, renamed by P3774), so when GCC implemented __cpp_lib_function_ref, the std::nontype polyfill tried to switch to the standard library's nonexistent std::nontype implementation, causing the build to fail. This commit replaces the std::nontype polyfill with a std::constant_wrapper polyfill and updates the paper to reflect this change.
