/**
Declare this class as friend to program invariants and base types as private
members.

Declare this class a friend of the user-defined class specifying the contracts
and then invariant functions and the base types @c typedef can be declared as
non-public members:

@code
class u
    #define BASES public b, private w
    : BASES
{
    friend class boost::contract::access;

    typedef BOOST_CONTRACT_BASE_TYPES(BASES) base_types; // Private.
    #undef BASES

    void invariant() const { ... } // Private (same for static and volatile).

public:
    ...
};
@endcode

In real code, programmers will likely chose to declare this class as friend so
to fully control public interfaces of their user-defined classes (this is not
extensively done in the examples of this documentation only for brevity).
This class is not intended to be directly used by programmers a part from
being declared as @c friend (and that is why this class does not have any public
member and it is not copyable).

@warning    Not declaring this class friend of user-defined classes will cause
            compiler errors on some compilers (e.g., MSVC) because the private
            members needed to check the contracts will not be accessible.
            On other compilers (e.g., GCC and CLang), the private access will
            instead fail SFINAE and no compiler error will be reported while
            invariants and subcontracting will be silently skipped at run-time.
            Therefore, programmers must make sure to either declare this class
            as friend or to always declare invariant functions and base types
            @c typedef as public members.
