// (workaround) macro BOOST_VARIANT_AUX_GENERIC_RESULT_TYPE
//
// On compilers with BOOST_NO_VOID_RETURNS, this macro provides a route
// to a single syntax for dealing with template functions that may (but
// not necessarily) return nothing (i.e. void).
//
// BOOST_VARIANT_AUX_RETURN_VOID provided for compilers w/ (erroneous?)
// warnings about non-void functions not returning a value.
