/** @file test-helper.hpp
 ** A collection of frequently used helper functions to support unit testing.
 ** Some are test data generators, some are diagnostics helpers to produce readable
 ** output. Some of these support meta programming to figure out the \em actual
 ** reference kind (value, lvalue, rvalue) of a template parameter instantiation.
 ** For GNU compatible compilers, we expose also the interface to the internal
 ** ABI for [demangling type names](\ref demangleCxx).
 ** 
 ** @note this header is included into a large number of tests.
 ** @see TestHelper_test
 ** @see TestHelperDemangling_test
