The main change here is to transform queries which have a constant value on the LHS and a keypath on the RHS into one with the keypath on the RHS when possible. This eliminates a large number of redundant template instantiations, reducing the library size a bit and improving the build time. It also happens to make some queries which previous threw an exception work.
C++17 lets us replace some of the template metaprogramming with
if constexpr
making things a bit simpler.Exception throwing has been shuffled around to reduce the size of the exception handler tables, and a few things have been refactored to cut down on unneeded duplication due to tmeplating.
In total this bumps about 100 kB off the macOS release binary and is a small net reduction in the amount of non-test code.
