    /// \brief For use in defining domain tags to be used
    /// with \c proto::extends\<\>. A \e Domain associates
    /// an expression type with a \e Generator, and optionally
    /// a \e Grammar.
    ///
    /// The Generator determines how new expressions in the
    /// domain are constructed. Typically, a generator wraps
    /// all new expressions in a wrapper that imparts
    /// domain-specific behaviors to expressions within its
    /// domain. (See \c proto::extends\<\>.)
    ///
    /// The Grammar determines whether a given expression is
    /// valid within the domain, and automatically disables
    /// any operator overloads which would cause an invalid
    /// expression to be created. By default, the Grammar
    /// parameter defaults to the wildcard, \c proto::_, which
    /// makes all expressions valid within the domain.
    ///
    /// Example:
    /// \code
    /// template<typename Expr>
    /// struct MyExpr;
    ///
    /// struct MyGrammar
    ///   : or_< terminal<_>, plus<MyGrammar, MyGrammar> >
    /// {};
    ///
    /// // Define MyDomain, in which all expressions are
    /// // wrapped in MyExpr<> and only expressions that
    /// // conform to MyGrammar are allowed.
    /// struct MyDomain
    ///   : domain<generator<MyExpr>, MyGrammar>
