You seem to be saying "moving" when you mean "casting to rvalue reference",
which is not moving.


I don't think your std:: expected example works, it didn't have a
conversion operator. What you want is just std:: move(*exp) or
*std::move(exp).

And your string example works with just static_cast<std::string&&>(obj).

So I think the existing solutions are fine.
