// StrongInt is a simple template class mechanism for defining "logical"
// integer-like class types that support many of the same functionalities
// as native integer types, but which prevent assignment, construction, and
// other operations from other similar integer-like types.  Essentially, the
// template class StrongInt<StrongIntName, ValueType> (where ValueType assumes
// valid scalar types such as int, uint, int32_t, etc) has the additional
// property that it cannot be assigned to or constructed from other StrongInts
// or native integer types of equal or implicitly convertible type.
//
// The class is useful for preventing mingling of integer variables with
// different logical roles or units.  Unfortunately, C++ provides relatively
// good type-safety for user-defined classes but not for integer types.  It is
// essentially up to the user to use nice variable names and comments to prevent
// accidental mismatches, such as confusing a user-index with a group-index or a
// time-in-milliseconds with a time-in-seconds.  The use of typedefs are limited
// in that regard as they do not enforce type-safety.
//
// USAGE -----------------------------------------------------------------------
//
//    DEFINE_STRONG_INT_TYPE(StrongIntName, ValueType);
//
//  where:
//    StrongIntName: is the desired (unique) name for the "logical" integer type
//    ValueType: is one of the integral types as defined by std::is_integral
//               (see <type_traits>).
//
// DISALLOWED OPERATIONS / TYPE-SAFETY ENFORCEMENT -----------------------------
//
//  Consider these definitions and variable declarations:
//    DEFINE_STRONG_INT_TYPE(GlobalDocID, int64_t);
//    DEFINE_STRONG_INT_TYPE(LocalDocID, int64_t);
//    GlobalDocID global;
//    LocalDocID local;
//
//  The class StrongInt prevents:
//
//  1) Assignments of other StrongInts with different StrongIntNames.
//
//    global = local;                  <-- Fails to compile!
//    local = global;                  <-- Fails to compile!
//
//  2) Explicit/implicit conversion from an StrongInt to another StrongInt.
//
//    LocalDocID l(global);            <-- Fails to compile!
//    LocalDocID l = global;           <-- Fails to compile!
//
//    void GetGlobalDoc(GlobalDocID global) { }
//    GetGlobalDoc(global);            <-- Compiles fine, types match!
//    GetGlobalDoc(local);             <-- Fails to compile!
//
//  3) Implicit conversion from an StrongInt to a native integer type.
//
//    void GetGlobalDoc(int64_t global) { ...
//    GetGlobalDoc(global);            <-- Fails to compile!
//    GetGlobalDoc(local);             <-- Fails to compile!
//
//    void GetLocalDoc(int32_t local) { ...
//    GetLocalDoc(global);             <-- Fails to compile!
//    GetLocalDoc(local);              <-- Fails to compile!
//
//
// SUPPORTED OPERATIONS --------------------------------------------------------
//
// The following operators are supported: unary: ++ (both prefix and postfix),
// +, -, ! (logical not), ~ (one's complement); comparison: ==, !=, <, <=, >,
// >=; numerical: +, -, *, /; assignment: =, +=, -=, /=, *=; stream: <<. Each
// operator allows the same StrongIntName and the ValueType to be used on
// both left- and right-hand sides.
//
// It also supports an accessor value() returning the stored value as ValueType,
// and a templatized accessor value<T>() method that serves as syntactic sugar
// for static_cast<T>(var.value()).  These accessors are useful when assigning
// the stored value into protocol buffer fields and using it as printf args.
//
// The class also defines a hash functor that allows the StrongInt to be used
// as key to hashable containers such as hash_map and hash_set.
//
// We suggest using the StrongIntIndexedContainer wrapper around google3's
// FixedArray and STL vector (see int-type-indexed-container.h) if an StrongInt
// is intended to be used as an index into these containers.  These wrappers are
// indexed in a type-safe manner using StrongInts to ensure type-safety.
//
// NB: this implementation does not attempt to abide by or enforce dimensional
// analysis on these scalar types.
//
// EXAMPLES --------------------------------------------------------------------
//
//    DEFINE_STRONG_INT_TYPE(GlobalDocID, int64_t);
//    GlobalDocID global = 3;
//    std::cout << global;                      <-- Prints 3 to stdout.
//
//    for (GlobalDocID i(0); i < global; ++i) {
//      std::cout << i;
//    }                                    <-- Print(ln)s 0 1 2 to stdout
//
//    DEFINE_STRONG_INT_TYPE(LocalDocID, int64_t);
//    LocalDocID local;
//    std::cout << local;                       <-- Prints 0 to stdout it
//    default
//                                             initializes the value to 0.
//
//    local = 5;
//    local *= 2;
//    LocalDocID l(local);
//    std::cout << l + local;                   <-- Prints 20 to stdout.
//
//    GenericSearchRequest request;
//    request.set_doc_id(global.value());  <-- Uses value() to extract the value
//                                             from the StrongInt class.
//
// REMARKS ---------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// The following bad usage is permissible although discouraged.  Essentially, it
// involves using the value*() accessors to extract the native integer type out
// of the StrongInt class.  Keep in mind that the primary reason for the
// StrongInt class is to prevent *accidental* mingling of similar logical
// integer types -- and not type casting from one type to another.
//
//  DEFINE_STRONG_INT_TYPE(GlobalDocID, int64_t);
//  DEFINE_STRONG_INT_TYPE(LocalDocID, int64_t);
//  GlobalDocID global;
//  LocalDocID local;
//
//  global = local.value();                       <-- Compiles fine.
//
//  void GetGlobalDoc(GlobalDocID global) { ...
//  GetGlobalDoc(local.value());                  <-- Compiles fine.
//
//  void GetGlobalDoc(int64_t global) { ...
//  GetGlobalDoc(local.value());                  <-- Compiles fine.
