8		The <b>BOOST_PP_ENUM_<i>z</i></b> macro represents a reentry into the <b>BOOST_PP_ENUM</b> repetition construct.
9	</div>
10	<h4>Usage</h4>
11		<div class="code">
12			<b>BOOST_PP_ENUM_</b> ## <i>z</i>(<i>count</i>, <i>macro</i>, <i>data</i>)
13		</div>
14	<h4>Arguments</h4>
15		<dl>
16			<dt>z</dt>
17			<dd>
18				The next available <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b> dimension.
19			</dd>
20			<dt>count</dt>
21			<dd>
22				The number of repetitious calls to <i>macro</i>.&nbsp;
23				Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_REPEAT</b>.
24			</dd>
25			<dt>macro</dt>
26			<dd>
27				A ternary operation of the form <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>n</i>, <i>data</i>).&nbsp;
28				This macro is expanded by <b>BOOST_PP_ENUM</b> with the next available repetition depth,
29				the current repetition number, and the auxiliary <i>data</i> argument.&nbsp;
30			</dd>
31			<dt>data</dt>
32			<dd>
33				Auxiliary data passed to <i>macro</i>.
34			</dd>
35		</dl>
36	<h4>Remarks</h4>
37		<div>
38			This macro expands to the sequence:
39			<div>
40				<i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>0</i>, <i>data</i>), <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>)
41			</div>
42		</div>
43		<div>
44			At certain times, it may be necessary to perform the concatenation with <b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b> rather than the preprocessor token-pasting operator.&nbsp;
45			This happens when the <i>z</i> value is a macro invocation itself.&nbsp;
46			It needs a delay to allow it to expand.&nbsp;
47			The syntax in such a scenario becomes:
48			<div>
49				<b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b>(<b>BOOST_PP_ENUM_</b>, <i>z</i>)(<i>count</i>, <i>macro</i>, <i>data</i>)
50			</div>
51		</div>
