/** @file try.cpp
** How to build generic string conversion into `ostream::operator<< `.
**
** This task is actually a conglomerate of several chores:
** - sanitise and segregate the type-traits usage
** - disentangle the existing toString conversion helper
** - extract a basic form from this helper, which can be placed
** into a header with minimal dependencies. After some consideration,
** I decided to allow `<typeinfo>` in this category, which allows us
** at least to show a type name as fallback
** - distill an essential version of `enable_if`, which can be inlined.
** This allows us to get rid of `boost::enable_if` finally.
** - build a sensible `operator string()` for our `lib::P` based on this
** - and _finally_, to come up with a templated version of the `ostream`
** inserter `operator<<`, which does not cause too much havoc when
** used by default. The greatest challenge here is to avoid ambiguous
** overloads, yet also to deal with references, `void` and arrays.
**
** \par policy
** What shall be expected from such a generic toString conversion?
** It should be _minimal_, it should be _transparent_ and it should
** always work and deliver a string, irrespective of the circumstances.
** By extension, this means that we do not want to differentiate much
** between values, references and pointers, which also means, we do
** not want to indicate pointers explicitly (just signal NULL, when
** encountered). The situation is slightly different for the `ostream`
** inserter; in a modern GUI application, there isn't much use for
** STDOUT and STDERR, beyond error messages and unit testing.
** Thus, we can strive at building a more convenient flavour
** here, which does indeed even shows the address of pointers.
** Metaprogramming: how to generate a function to accept a fixed set
** of typed arguments, where the sequence of arguments is given as type sequence
** or as variadic parameter pack. Also how to bind concrete argument values to
** such a function, where the concrete arguments come as runtime collection
** of variant holders.
