 * @defgroup LogicMetaprogramming Logic Metaprogramming

 *
 * This group contains metafunctions for logical operations.
 *
 * For each boolean operation, there is one metafunction called <tt>Operation</tt> and one called <tt>OperationC</tt>
 * (i.e. having a suffix <tt>C</tt>.  The first one works on boolean tag types <tt>True</tt> and <tt>False</tt>.  The second one takes <tt>bool</tt> constant parameters.
 *
 * The metafunctions allow a shortcut using the SFNAE (substitution failure is not an error) feature of the C++
 * programming language.  When passing metafunctions returning <tt>True</tt> and <tt>False</tt> in their <tt>Type</tt>
 * member typedef, you can ommit the <tt>::Type</tt>.
