Update some metafunctions for increased portability.
As the matrix of supported compilers an increasing number of compiler inconsistencies are unfortunately showing, both across clang and gcc, but also across platforms (mac and Linux) and versions (C++17 and C++20).
gcc does not seem to permit template specialisations within class definitions so inner helper classes have been moved out of classes (despite the current form being cleaner).
Also, gcc seems to take issue with using declarations that shadow types in the outer namespace, so they have been modified with a leading "_", e.g. "using _ExposedType = ...".

Tested: Compiled on Ubuntu and Mac platforms with C++20 using clang and gcc.
