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