regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the
world.

using lowest_layer_type = boost::beast::get_lowest_layer< next_layer_type >;
This will be a type alias for T::lowest_layer_type
if it exists, else it will be an alias for T
.
Declaring a wrapper:
template<class Stream> struct stream_wrapper { using next_layer_type = typename std::remove_reference<Stream>::type; using lowest_layer_type = get_lowest_layer<stream_type>; };
Defining a metafunction:
template<class T> using is_stream_wrapper : std::integral_constant<bool, ! std::is_same<T, get_lowest_layer<T>>::value> {};
