18     //! Apply a function to an initial state while some predicate is satisfied.
19     //! @ingroup group-Logical
20     //!
21     //! This method is a natural extension of the `while` language construct
22     //! to manipulate a state whose type may change from one iteration to
23     //! another. However, note that having a state whose type changes from
24     //! one iteration to the other is only possible as long as the predicate
25     //! returns a `Logical` whose truth value is known at compile-time.
26     //!
27     //! Specifically, `while_(pred, state, f)` is equivalent to
28     //! @code
29     //!     f(...f(f(state)))
30     //! @endcode
31     //! where `f` is iterated as long as `pred(f(...))` is a true-valued
32     //! `Logical`.
33     //!
34     //!
35     //! @param pred
36     //! A predicate called on the state or on the result of applying `f` a
37     //! certain number of times to the state, and returning whether `f`
38     //! should be applied one more time.
39     //!
40     //! @param state
41     //! The initial state on which `f` is applied.
42     //!
43     //! @param f
44     //! A function that is iterated on the initial state. Note that the
45     //! return type of `f` may change from one iteration to the other,
46     //! but only while `pred` returns a compile-time `Logical`. In other
47     //! words, `decltype(f(stateN))` may differ from `decltype(f(stateN+1))`,
48     //! but only if `pred(f(stateN))` returns a compile-time `Logical`.
49     //!
