/**
Macro typically used to copy an old value expression and assign it to an old
value pointer.

The expression expanded by this macro should be assigned to an old value
pointer of type @RefClass{boost::contract::old_ptr} or
@RefClass{boost::contract::old_ptr_if_copyable}.
This is an overloaded variadic macro and it can be used in the following
different ways.

1\. From within virtual public functions and public functions overrides:

@code
BOOST_CONTRACT_OLDOF(v, old_expr)
@endcode

2\. From all other operations:

@code
BOOST_CONTRACT_OLDOF(old_expr)
@endcode

Where:

@arg    <c><b>v</b></c> is the extra parameter of type
        @RefClass{boost::contract::virtual_}<c>*</c> and default value @c 0
        from the enclosing virtual public function or public function
        overrides declaring the contract.
@arg    <c><b>old_expr</b></c> is the expression to be evaluated and copied into
        the old value pointer.
        (This is not a variadic macro parameter so any comma it might contain
        must be protected by round parenthesis and
        <c>BOOST_CONTRACT_OLDOF(v, (old_expr))</c> will always work.)

On compilers that do not support variadic macros, programmers can manually copy
old value expressions without using this macro (see
@RefSect{extras.no_macros__and_no_variadic_macros_, No Macros}).

@see @RefSect{tutorial.old_values, Old Values}

Trait to check if an old value type can be copied or not.

By default, this unary boolean meta-function is equivalent to
@c boost::is_copy_constructible<T> but programmers can chose to specialize it
for user-defined types (in general some kind of specialization is also needed on
compilers that do not support C++11, see
<a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/type_traits/doc/html/boost_typetraits/reference/is_copy_constructible.html">

namespace boost { namespace contract {
    template<> // Specialization to not copy old values of type `u`.
    struct is_old_value_copyable<u> : boost::false_type {};
} } // namespace
@endcode

A given old value type @c T is copied only if
@c boost::contract::is_old_value_copyable<T>::value is @c true.
A copyable old value type @c V is always copied using
@c boost::contract::old_value_copy<V>.
A non-copyable old value type @c W generates a compile-time error when
@c boost::contract::old_ptr<W> is dereferenced, but instead leaves
@c boost::contract::old_ptr_if_copyable<W> always null (without generating
compile-time errors).

Trait to copy an old value.

By default, the implementation of this trait uses @c T's copy constructor to
make one single copy of the specified value.
However, programmers can specialize this trait to copy old values using
user-specific operations different from @c T's copy constructor.
The default implementation of this trait is equivalent to:

@code
template<typename T>
class old_value_copy {
public:
    explicit old_value_copy(T const& old) :
        old_(old) // One single copy of value using T's copy constructor.

    T const& old() const { return old_; }

private:
    T const old_; // The old value copy.
};
@endcode

This library will instantiate and use this trait only on old value types @c T
that are copyable (i.e., for which
<c>boost::contract::is_old_value_copyable<T>::value</c> is @c true).

@see    @RefSect{extras.old_value_requirements__templates_,
