/// Expands to a metafunction whose typedef 'type' is either the named type or a marker type.
/**

    trait = the name of the metafunction within the tti namespace.
    
    name  = the name of the inner type.

    generates a metafunction called "trait" where 'trait' is the macro parameter.
    
              template<class BOOST_TTI_TP_T,class BOOST_TTI_TP_MARKER_TYPE = boost::tti::detail::notype>
              struct trait
                {
                typedef unspecified type;
                
                typedef BOOST_TTI_TP_MARKER_TYPE boost_tti_marker_type;
                };

              The metafunction types and return:
              
                BOOST_TTI_TP_T           = the enclosing type.
                BOOST_TTI_TP_MARKER_TYPE = (optional) a type to use as the marker type.
                                  defaults to the internal boost::tti::detail::notype.
                
                returns         = 'type' is the inner type of 'name' if the inner type exists
                                  within the enclosing type, else 'type' is a marker type.
                                  if the end-user does not specify a marker type then
                                  an internal boost::tti::detail::notype marker type is used.
                          
                The metafunction also encapsulates the type of the marker type as
                a nested 'boost_tti_marker_type'.
                          
    The purpose of this macro is to encapsulate the 'name' type as the typedef 'type'
    of a metafunction, but only if it exists within the enclosing type. This allows for
    an evaluation of inner type existence, without generating a compiler error,
    which can be used by other metafunctions in this library.
