A recursive_replace_copy_if Template Function Implementation in C++

This is a follow-up question for A recursive_copy_if Template Function Implementation in C++. Besides the recursive version std::ranges::copy_if, I am trying to implement a recursive version std::replace_if.

The experimental implementation

The experimental implementation is as below.

//  recursive_replace_copy_if implementation
template<std::ranges::range Range, std::invocable<std::ranges::range_value_t<Range>> UnaryPredicate, class T>
constexpr auto recursive_replace_copy_if(const Range& input, const UnaryPredicate& unary_predicate, const T& new_value)
{
    Range output{};
    std::ranges::replace_copy_if(
        std::ranges::cbegin(input),
        std::ranges::cend(input),
        std::inserter(output, std::ranges::end(output)),
        unary_predicate,
        new_value);
    return output;
}

template<std::ranges::input_range Range, class UnaryPredicate, class T>
requires (!std::invocable<UnaryPredicate, std::ranges::range_value_t<Range>>)
constexpr auto recursive_replace_copy_if(const Range& input, const UnaryPredicate& unary_predicate, const T& new_value)
{
    Range output{};

    std::ranges::transform(
        std::ranges::cbegin(input),
        std::ranges::cend(input),
        std::inserter(output, std::ranges::end(output)),
        [&unary_predicate, &new_value](auto&& element) { return recursive_replace_copy_if(element, unary_predicate, new_value); }
    );
    return output;
}

Test cases

The test cases for recursive_replace_copy_if function including std::vector<int>, std::vector<std::vector<int>>, std::vector<std::string>, std::vector<std::vector<std::string>>, std::deque<int>, std::deque<std::deque<int>>, std::list<int> and std::list<std::list<int>> type input are as below.

int main()
{
    std::vector<int> test_vector{ 5, 7, 4, 2, 8, 6, 1, 9, 0, 3 };
    recursive_print(recursive_replace_copy_if(test_vector, std::bind(std::less<int>(), std::placeholders::_1, 5), 55));
    recursive_print(test_vector);

    std::vector<decltype(test_vector)> test_vector2{ test_vector , test_vector , test_vector };
    recursive_print(recursive_replace_copy_if(test_vector2, std::bind(std::less<int>(), std::placeholders::_1, 5), 55));

    //  std::vector<std::string>
    std::vector<std::string> test_string_vector{ "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20" };
    recursive_print(
        recursive_replace_copy_if(
            test_string_vector, [](std::string x) { return (x == "1"); }, "11"
        )
    );

    //  std::vector<std::vector<std::string>>
    std::vector<decltype(test_string_vector)> test_string_vector2{ test_string_vector , test_string_vector , test_string_vector };
    recursive_print(
        recursive_replace_copy_if(
            test_string_vector2, [](std::string x) { return (x == "1"); }, "11"
        )
    );

    //  std::deque<int>
    std::deque<int> test_deque;
    test_deque.push_back(1);
    test_deque.push_back(2);
    test_deque.push_back(3);
    test_deque.push_back(4);
    test_deque.push_back(5);
    test_deque.push_back(6);

    recursive_print(recursive_replace_copy_if(test_deque, [](int x) { return (x % 2) == 0; }, 0));
    
    //  std::deque<std::deque<int>>
    std::deque<decltype(test_deque)> test_deque2;
    test_deque2.push_back(test_deque);
    test_deque2.push_back(test_deque);
    test_deque2.push_back(test_deque);

    recursive_print(recursive_replace_copy_if(test_deque2, [](int x) { return (x % 2) == 0; }, 0));

    //  std::list<int>
    std::list<int> test_list = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };

    recursive_print(recursive_replace_copy_if(test_list, [](int x) { return (x % 2) == 0; }, 0));


    //  std::list<std::list<int>>
    std::list<std::list<int>> test_list2 = { test_list, test_list, test_list, test_list };

    recursive_print(recursive_replace_copy_if(test_list2, [](int x) { return (x % 2) == 0; }, 0));

    return 0;
}
