   * @test demonstrate some details regarding detection of functions within a type.
   *  The purpose of these metaprogramming techniques is to write generic containers,
   *  handlers, iterators etc, which automatically adapt themselves to the abilities
   *  of their payload type. To give an example, we may investigate the argument type
   *  of a functor or lambda, and then compose it with a suitable adapter or converter
   *  to work with the given data.
   *  
   *  However, when it comes to detecting the presence of a specific function, there
   *  are some complexities and variations to consider. Sometimes we only want to check
   *  for the presence of some function, while in other cases we also want to verify
   *  the exact signature of that function. Moreover, some of these detection techniques
   *  break down whenever there is overload ambiguity; thus we might need to resort to
   *  an alternative, not so strict test to get past such limitations.

       * It is a common idiom in C++ to expose an extension point through a free function,
       * which is expected to be picked up by ADL. To mention a prominent example, any type
       * can offer the ability to be _iterated_ by injecting free functions `begin(TY)` and
       * `end(TY)`, to yield a STL compatible iterator.
       * 
       * Since such an extension point is used just by invoking the _unqualified_ function
       * with the target type, we can build a meta predicate based on the fact if such an
       * function invocation expression can be formed for the type in question.
       * 
       * @note the test really hinges on the ability to form the extension point call.
       *       For this reason, some implicit conversions might be involved, and some
       *       other conversions won't work (like passing a value to an extension point
       *       taking a reference).
