8		The <b>BOOST_PP_INDIRECT_SELF</b> macro is a user-defined <i>named external argument</i> used by <b>BOOST_PP_INCLUDE_SELF</b>.&nbsp;
9	</div>
10	<h4>Usage</h4>
11		<div class="code">
12			#define <b>BOOST_PP_INDIRECT_SELF</b> <i>filename</i>
13		</div>
14	<h4>Arguments</h4>
15		<dl>
16			<dt>filename</dt>
17			<dd>
18				A quoted or angle-bracketed filename to be included by <b>BOOST_PP_INCLUDE_SELF</b>.
19			</dd>
20		</dl>
21	<h4>Remarks</h4>
22		<div>
23			Most preprocessors will not allow a file to directly include itself--even when the file protects itself from such a scenario.&nbsp;
24			This macro, in combination with <b>BOOST_PP_INCLUDE_SELF</b> allows a file to include itself indirectly.
25		</div>
26		<div>
27			This macro is automatically undefined for reuse by a call to <b>BOOST_PP_INCLUDE_SELF</b>.
28		</div>
