/// \brief Macro used to make a class compatible with boost::typeindex::runtime_cast
///
/// BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_REGISTER_RUNTIME_CLASS generates a virtual function
/// in the current class that, when combined with the supplied base class information, allows
/// boost::typeindex::runtime_cast to accurately convert between dynamic types of instances of
/// the current class.
///
/// \b Example:
/// \code
/// struct base1 {
///     BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_REGISTER_RUNTIME_CLASS(BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_NO_BASE_CLASS)
///     virtual ~base1();
/// };
///
/// struct base2 {
///     BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_REGISTER_RUNTIME_CLASS(BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_NO_BASE_CLASS)
///     virtual ~base2();
/// };
///
/// struct derived1 : base1 {
///     BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_REGISTER_RUNTIME_CLASS((base1))
/// };
///
/// struct derived2 : base1, base2 {
///     BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_REGISTER_RUNTIME_CLASS((base1)(base2))
/// };
///
/// ...
///
/// base1* pb1 = get_object();
/// if(derived2* pb2 = boost::typeindex::runtime_cast<derived2*>(pb1))
/// { /* ... */ }
/// \endcode
///
/// \param base_class_seq A Boost.Preprocessor sequence of the current class' direct bases, or
/// BOOST_PP_SEQ_NIL if this class has no direct base classes.
