/**
Friend this class to declare invariants and base types as private members.

Declare this class a friend of the user-defined class specifying the contracts
in order to declare the invariant functions and the base types @c typedef as
non-public members:

@code
class u :
    #define BASES public b, private w
    BASES
{
    friend class boost::contract::access;

    typedef BOOST_CONTRACT_BASES(BASES) base_types; // Private.
    #undef BASES

    void invariant() const { ... } // Private.

public:
    ...
};
@endcode

In real code, programmers will likely chose to declare this class as friend so
to fully control public interfaces of their user-defined classes.
This class is not intended to be directly used by programmers a part from
declaring it @c friend (and that is why this class does not have any public
member and it is not copyable).

@warning    Not declaring this class friend of user-defined classes will cause
            compiler errors on some compilers (e.g., MSVC) because the private
            members needed to check the contracts will not be accessible.
            On other compilers (e.g., GCC and CLang), the private access will
            instead fail SFINAE and no compiler error will be reported while
            invariants and subcontracting will be silently skipped at run-time.
            Therefore, programmers must make sure to either declare this class
            as friend (preferred) or to always declare invariant functions and
            base types @c typedef as public members.
