8		The <b>BOOST_PP_LPAREN</b> macro expands to a left parenthesis.
9	</div>
10	<h4>Usage</h4>
11		<div class="code">
12			<b>BOOST_PP_LPAREN</b>()
13		</div>
14	<h4>Remarks</h4>
15		<div>
16			The preprocessor interprets parentheses as delimiters in macro invocations.&nbsp;
17			Because of this, parentheses require special handling.
