    //  scanner_list (a fake scanner)
    //
    //      Typically, rules are tied to a specific scanner type and
    //      a particular rule cannot be used with anything else. Sometimes
    //      there's a need for rules that can accept more than one scanner
    //      type. The scanner_list<S0, ...SN> can be used as a template
    //      parameter to the rule class to specify up to the number of
    //      scanner types defined by the BOOST_SPIRIT_RULE_SCANNERTYPE_LIMIT
    //      constant. Example:
    //
    //          rule<scanner_list<ScannerT0, ScannerT1> > r;
    //
    //      *** This feature is available only to compilers that support
    //      partial template specialization. ***

    //  rule class
    //
    //      The rule is a polymorphic parser that acts as a named place-
    //      holder capturing the behavior of an EBNF expression assigned to
    //      it.
    //
    //      The rule is a template class parameterized by:
    //
    //          1) scanner (scanner_t, see scanner.hpp),
    //          2) the rule's context (context_t, see parser_context.hpp)
    //          3) an arbitrary tag (tag_t, see parser_id.hpp) that allows
    //             a rule to be tagged for identification.
    //
    //      These template parameters may be specified in any order. The
    //      scanner will default to scanner<> when it is not specified.
    //      The context will default to parser_context when not specified.
    //      The tag will default to parser_address_tag when not specified.
    //
    //      The definition of the rule (its right hand side, RHS) held by
    //      the rule through a scoped_ptr. When a rule is seen in the RHS
    //      of an assignment or copy construction EBNF expression, the rule
    //      is held by the LHS rule by reference.
