// This header file contains C++11 versions of standard <utility> header
// abstractions available within C++14 and C++17, and are designed to be drop-in
// replacement for code compliant with C++14 and C++17.
//
// The following abstractions are defined:
//
//   * integer_sequence<T, Ints...>  == std::integer_sequence<T, Ints...>
//   * index_sequence<Ints...>       == std::index_sequence<Ints...>
//   * make_integer_sequence<T, N>   == std::make_integer_sequence<T, N>

//   * exchange<T>                   == std::exchange<T>
//
// This header file also provides the tag types `in_place_t`, `in_place_type_t`,

// `constexpr` `std::move()` and `std::forward()` implementations in C++11.
