With apologies for bikeshedding:

I don't love the "OrTrap" name. It might trap in a Debug build, but it surely won't in a Release build. Anyway I don't think the name needs to say what the consequences might be if the key does not exist.

How about calling it just "lookup", and using a longer name like "lookupOrDefaultConstruct" for the less-obvious behaviour of the current lookup method? (Is there really much code that relies on its "or default construct" behaviour? And anyway aren't there more STL-like ways of getting that behaviour, like using `operator[]`?)

Or why not call it "at <https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/map/at>"?
