As I hinted in another post but didn't quite actually state, rather than
adding a new method, wouldn't it be sufficient to make operator bool do
something like:
return *this == error_condition(0, generic_category());
(Using generic_category() is more correct, but given the default
constructor it might perhaps lead to less/zero code breakage to use
system_category() instead.)
