future_error public constructor is 'exposition only'Section: 32.10.4[futures.future.error]Status:ResolvedSubmitter: LWGOpened: 2009-06-28Last modified: 2021-06-06

Description
Not clear what it means for a public constructor to be 'exposition only'. If the intent is purely to support the library calling this constructor then it can be made private and accessed through friendship. Otherwise it should be documented for public consumption.
Suggestion
Declare the constructor as private with a note about intended friendship, or remove the exposition-only comment and document the semantics.
Notes
Create an issue. Assigned to Detlef. Suggested resolution probably makes sense.
