        /// 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
