Description

proto::basic_expr<> is a node in an expression template tree. It is a container for its child sub-trees. It also serves as the terminal nodes of the tree.

Tag is type that represents the operation encoded by this expression. It is typically one of the structs in the boost::proto::tag namespace, but it doesn't have to be. If Arity is 0 then this expr<> type represents a leaf in the expression tree.

Args is a list of types representing the children of this expression. It is an instantiation of one of proto::list1<>, proto::list2<>, etc. The child types must all themselves be either proto::expr<> or proto::basic_expr<>& (or extensions thereof via proto::extends<> or BOOST_PROTO_EXTENDS()), unless Arity is 0, in which case Args must be proto::term<T>, where T can be any type.

proto::basic_expr<> is a valid Fusion random-access sequence, where the elements of the sequence are the child expressions.

`basic_expr` public static functions

template<typename... A> static basic_expr const make(A const &... a);

Requires:	The number of supplied arguments must be `max(Arity,1)`.
Returns:	A new `basic_expr` object initialized with the specified arguments.

`basic_expr` public member functions

```
basic_expr & proto_base();
```
Returns:

*this
```
basic_expr const & proto_base() const;
```
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
