I see.

Is the example with storing the return value enough, or do you think it
is still trimmed down too much?

Even for other use-cases, writing the static_cast and hiding it in a
macro is less verbose and more expressive than introducing a new scope
or a second lambda (even less verbose than std::as_const...).
