C++ Templates Revised

" summary

Second edition integrates Modern C++ and shows concrete fixes and patterns for real code: use inline constexpr static members to avoid ODR linker errors for trait values, prefer type-based traits or void_t for SFINAE, and consider Boost.Hana style is_valid helpers to cut boilerplate. Beware of string_view nightmare causing dangling views and prefer auto return types or decltype(auto) for perfect forwarding combined with invoke_result_t and if constexpr to handle void and nonvoid paths. Examples compile on current compilers and nested variadic patterns demonstrate practical CRTP and pack expansion uses.
