//      BOOST_VARIANT_ENUM_PARAMS(class Something)      => class Something0, class... SomethingN
//      BOOST_VARIANT_ENUM_PARAMS(typename Something)   => typename Something0, typename... SomethingN

// Rationale: Cleaner, simpler code for clients of variant library. Minimal 
// code modifications to move from C++03 to C++11.
