32 /* Macro that uses SFINAE magic to detect whether the EXPR expression
33    is either valid or ill-formed, at compile time, without actually
34    producing compile-time errors.  I.e., check that bad uses of the
35    types (e.g., involving mismatching types) would be caught at
36    compile time.  If the expression is valid, also check whether the
37    expression has the right type.
38 
39    EXPR must be defined in terms of some of the template parameters,
40    so that template substitution failure discards the overload instead
41    of causing a real compile error.  TYPES is thus the list of types
42    involved in the expression, and TYPENAMES is the same list, but
43    with each element prefixed by "typename".  These are passed as
44    template parameter types to the templates within the macro.
45 
46    VALID is a boolean that indicates whether the expression is
47    supposed to be valid or invalid.
48 
49    EXPR_TYPE is the expected type of EXPR.  Only meaningful iff VALID
50    is true.  If VALID is false, then you must pass "void" as expected
51    type.
52 
53    Each invocation of the macro is wrapped in its own namespace to
54    avoid ODR violations.  The generated namespace only includes the
55    line number, so client code should wrap sets of calls in a
56    test-specific namespace too, to fully guarantee uniqueness between
57    the multiple clients in the codebase.  */
