A "meta" is an object holding metadata deduced from a type at compile time, stored in or referenced by a proxy. proxy creates, copies, assigns, and destroys metadata in contexts specified not to throw, but nothing required a reflector to actually support those operations without throwing, or to be default-constructible at all. Define the ProBasicMeta and ProMeta named requirements, and enforce them via the new basic_meta, meta, and basic_reflection concepts. is_reflector_well_formed() now checks meta<R, T> rather than plain constructibility, so a reflector that can throw, or that cannot be default-constructed, copied, or assigned, is no longer proxiable and is diagnosed as a reflection that is not implemented. This tightens proxiable: a reflector whose constructor may throw was previously accepted.

basic_meta,meta, andbasic_reflectionconcepts.is_reflector_well_formed()now checksmeta<R, T>rather than plain constructibility.Breaking change. A reflector whose constructor may throw, or that cannot be default-constructed, copied, or assigned, is no longer
proxiableand is diagnosed as a reflection that is not implemented. Reflectors in the tests and in the documented examples are updated accordingly.
