/* 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.  */
