// Helper macro BOOST_JOIN:
// The following piece of macro magic joins the two
// arguments together, even when one of the arguments is
// itself a macro (see 16.3.1 in C++ standard).  The key
// is that macro expansion of macro arguments does not
// occur in BOOST_DO_JOIN2 but does in BOOST_DO_JOIN.
