I'm not sure you should expect people to spend some time understanding this
if you do not provide any additional information. Don't get me wrong; a
compile-time counter seems like an interesting thing to have in Boost, but
posting this 300 LOC header as-is is not the best way to get things going IMHO.
What is this and what is it useful for?
