### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We have a generic implementation of `cuda::std::expected` that works with all error types.
However, being so generic it is much harder on compile-times and also not as efficient as it could be for an error type such as `cudaError_t`
### Describe the solution you'd like
Rather than storing a boolean to check whether the value is valid we can just store an `cudaError_t` and signal `has_value` by comparing against `cudaSuccess`
That means that we avoid the additional storage for bool + cudaError_t and we can also simplify a lot of the member methods knowing that `cudaError_t` is a plain enumeration
