// A bag of Traits (structs / enums / etc...) can be an elegant alternative to
// the builder pattern and multiple default arguments for configuring things.
// Traits are terser than the builder pattern and can be evaluated at compile
// time, however they require the use of variadic templates which complicates
// matters. This file contains helpers that make Traits easier to use.
//
// E.g.
//   struct EnableFeatureX {};
//   struct UnusedTrait {};
//   enum Color { RED, BLUE };
//
//   struct ValidTraits {
//      ValidTraits(EnableFeatureX);
//      ValidTraits(Color);
//   };
//   ...
//   DoSomethingAwesome();                 // Use defaults (Color::BLUE &
//                                         // feature X not enabled)
//   DoSomethingAwesome(EnableFeatureX(),  // Turn feature X on
//                      Color::RED);       // And make it red.
//   DoSomethingAwesome(UnusedTrait(),     // Compile time error.
//                      Color::RED);
//
// DoSomethingAwesome might be defined as:
