Fwd: Re: "Union types" syntactic sugar

Sure! You can do this (you were missing the "auto" of the
placeholder-type-specifier):
voidf(std::basic_string<any_of<char, uint8_t> auto> x);

This works because "type-constraint auto" is a valid
placeholder-type-specifier (which is a simple-type-specifier) and those
are permitted as type-ids for a template type parameter (which is this
case):

For completness: type-id <- type-specifier-seq <- type-specifier <-
simple-type-specifier <- placeholder-type-specifier <-
type-constraint_opt auto
