//  Base-from-member arity configuration macro  ------------------------------//

// The following macro determines how many arguments will be in the largest
// constructor template of base_from_member.  Constructor templates will be
// generated from one argument to this maximum.  Code from other files can read
// this number if they need to always match the exact maximum base_from_member
// uses.  The maximum constructor length can be changed by overriding the
// #defined constant.  Make sure to apply the override, if any, for all source
// files during project compiling for consistency.

//  An iteration of a constructor template for base_from_member  -------------//

// A macro that should expand to:
//     template < typename T1, ..., typename Tn >
//     base_from_member( T1 x1, ..., Tn xn )
//         : member( x1, ..., xn )
//         {}
// This macro should only persist within this file.

// reference part is stripped first.

// base class needing to be initialized by a member.
