    /// \brief A PrimitiveTransform that transforms the child expressions
    /// of an expression node according to the corresponding children of
    /// a Grammar.
    ///
    /// Given a Grammar such as <tt>plus\<T0, T1\></tt>, an expression type
    /// that matches the grammar such as <tt>plus\<E0, E1\>::type</tt>, a
    /// state \c S and a data \c V, the result of applying the
    /// <tt>pass_through\<plus\<T0, T1\> \></tt> transform is:
    ///
    /// \code
    /// plus<
    ///     T0::result<T0(E0, S, V)>::type
    ///   , T1::result<T1(E1, S, V)>::type
    /// >::type
    /// \endcode
    ///
    /// The above demonstrates how child transforms and child expressions
    /// are applied pairwise, and how the results are reassembled into a new
    /// expression node with the same tag type as the original.
    ///
    /// The explicit use of <tt>pass_through\<\></tt> is not usually needed,
    /// since the expression generator metafunctions such as
    /// <tt>plus\<\></tt> have <tt>pass_through\<\></tt> as their default
    /// transform. So, for instance, these are equivalent:
    ///
    /// \code
    /// // Within a grammar definition, these are equivalent:
    /// when< plus<X, Y>, pass_through< plus<X, Y> > >
    /// when< plus<X, Y>, plus<X, Y> >
    /// when< plus<X, Y> > // because of when<class X, class Y=X>
    /// plus<X, Y>         // because plus<> is both a
    ///                    //   grammar and a transform
    /// \endcode
    ///
    /// For example, consider the following transform that promotes all
    /// \c float terminals in an expression to \c double.
    ///
    /// \code
    /// // This transform finds all float terminals in an expression and promotes
    /// // them to doubles.
    /// struct Promote
    ///  : or_<
    ///         when<terminal<float>, terminal<double>::type(_value) >
    ///         // terminal<>'s default transform is a no-op:
    ///       , terminal<_>
    ///         // nary_expr<> has a pass_through<> transform:
    ///       , nary_expr<_, vararg<Promote> >
    ///     >
