8		The <b>BOOST_PP_ENUM_SHIFTED</b> macro generates a comma-separated, shifted list.
9	</div>
10	<h4>Usage</h4>
11		<div class="code">
12			<b>BOOST_PP_ENUM_SHIFTED</b>(<i>count</i>, <i>macro</i>, <i>data</i>)
13		</div>
14	<h4>Arguments</h4>
15		<dl>
16			<dt>count</dt>
17			<dd>
18				The number of repetitious calls to <i>macro</i>.&nbsp;
19				Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_REPEAT</b>.
20			</dd>
21			<dt>macro</dt>
22			<dd>
23				A ternary operation of the form <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>n</i>, <i>data</i>).&nbsp;
24				This macro is expanded by <b>BOOST_PP_ENUM_SHIFTED</b> with the next available repetition depth,
25				the current repetition number, and the auxiliary <i>data</i> argument.&nbsp;
26			</dd>
27			<dt>data</dt>
28			<dd>
29				Auxiliary data passed to <i>macro</i>.
30			</dd>
31		</dl>
32	<h4>Remarks</h4>
33		<div>
34			This macro expands to the comma-separated sequence:
35			<div>
36				<i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>1</i>, <i>data</i>), ... <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>count</i> - <i>1</i>, <i>data</i>)
37			</div>
38		</div>
39		<div>
40			The <i>z</i> value that is passed to <i>macro</i> represents the next available repetition dimension.&nbsp;
41			Other macros that have <b>_Z</b> suffix variants internally use <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b>--for example, <b>BOOST_PP_ENUM_PARAMS</b> and <b>BOOST_PP_ENUM_PARAMS_Z</b>.&nbsp;
42			Using these <b>_Z</b> versions is not strictly necessary, but passing the <i>z</i> value (that is passed to <i>macro</i>) to these macros allows them to reenter <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b> with maximum efficiency.
43		</div>
44		<div>
45			To directly use this <i>z</i> value, rather than simply passing it to another macro, see <b>BOOST_PP_ENUM_SHIFTED_<i>z</i></b>.
46		</div>
47		<div>
48			Previously, this macro could not be used recursively inside <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b>.&nbsp;
49			This limitation no longer exists, as the library can automatically detect the next available repetition depth.
50		</div>
