116<p>
117        For modern compilers (those that support arbitrary SFINAE-expressions and
118        decltype/declval) this trait offers near perfect detection. In this situation
119        the macro <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_TT_HAS_ACCURATE_BINARY_OPERATOR_DETECTION</span></code>
120        will be defined after including <code class="literal">&lt;boost/type_traits/has_plus_assign.hpp&gt;</code>.
121        Please note however, that detection is based on function signature only,
122        in the case that the operator is a function template then has_plus_assign
123        cannot perform introspection of the template function body to ensure that
124        the type meets all of the conceptual requirements of the actual code.
