As far as I can see from the proposal, that would actually be:

template< typename T, typename S>
 using valstat = std::pair<T, S>;

Which is why I asked in my reply why this type is necessary at all. There's a
perfectly legitimate answer as "this conveys more meaning, that the two
carried types are related, not just simply a pair".
