Description

It seems that the rule "if the condition is not value-dependent after its instantiation" mainly affects implicit lambda captures of generic lambdas.

If I understand correctly, the intent is that the condition may still remain value-dependent when determining implicit lambda captures but won't be value-dependent after the instantiation of the lambda body. Should we add a proper example explaining this?
