// Template metaprogramming utility functions.

// This code is compiled directly on many platforms, including client
// platforms like Windows, Mac, and embedded systems. Before making
// any changes here, make sure that you're not breaking any platforms.
//
//
// The names chosen here reflect those used in tr1 and the boost::mpl
// library, there are similar operations used in the Loki library as
// well. I prefer the boost names for 2 reasons:
// 1. I think that portions of the Boost libraries are more likely to
// be included in the c++ standard.
// 2. It is not impossible that some of the boost libraries will be
// included in our own build in the future.
// Both of these outcomes means that we may be able to directly replace
// some of these with boost equivalents.
