+In most cases, it is useful to return a specific, user-defined type.
+For example:

+
+The overly generic `pair` and `tuple` should be used only when the value returned represents independent entities rather than an abstraction.
+
+Another option is to use `optional<T>` or `expected<T, error_code>`, rather than `pair` or `tuple`.

 When the object to be returned is initialized from local variables that are expensive to copy,
 explicit `move` may be helpful to avoid copying:

-For `struct`s where one member represents the success of an operation, adding an explicit conversion to `bool` is helpful:
-
-    struct parse_result {
-        bool success;
-        int value;
-        explicit operator bool() const { return success; }

-    void f()
-    {
-        if (parse_result result = parse_int("123")) { use(result.value); }
-    }

-In most cases, C++17 `optional` and C++23 `expected` can replace this pattern.
