I'm very confused by the idea that one allows both "plain values" as
well as callables that return values to check.

If I call value_or with a bunch of function pointers, trying to find the
first non-null pointer (or return the given default), is it going to try
to *call* these pointers because they're callables?

To me, the "mere" selection facility vs. try to invoke and use the
return values ought to be spelled _very_ differently. For instance, for
optional there's value_or (that takes a value) and the proposed
value_or_else that takes a callable.

My 2 c,
