Hi C++ expert,

I have been wondering why we have std::index_sequence but not
std::size_constant, that is:

template<std::size_t N>
using size_constant = std::integral_constant<std::size_t, N>;

Since std::integral_constant<std::size_t, N> is widely used in the standard
library, such as tuple_size and variant_size need to inherit it, so I think
it is appropriate to add an alias to it in the standard, which can reduce a
lot of typing and improve some readability, just like we aliased
bool_constant<b> to integral_constant<bool, b>.

Any idea? Or is it that some paper has already proposed it?
