+// This macro allows to check if a type has a member named "__member_name__"...
+// ... regardless of the signature. If takes advantage of the following behavior related to
+// function resolution. Say, both, foo and base, declare a method with the same name "func":
+//
+// struct foo { int func (int, int) { return 0; } };
+// struct base { void func () {} };
+// struct mixin : public foo, public base {};
+//
+// Now, if we inherit from both -- foo and base -- classes, then the following calls will fail
+// mixin_ptr(0)->func();
+// mixin_ptr(0)->func(5, 5);
+// with the error message (gcc): request for member func is ambiguous
+// regardless if we provide any arguments or not even though one might expect that
+// arg-based signature resolution might kick in. The only way to deploy those methods is:
+//
+// mixin_ptr(0)->foo::func();
+// mixin_ptr(0)->base::func(5, 5);
+//
+// C2. The actual signature of __member_name__ is not taken into account. If
+// __T__::__member_name__(any-signature) exists, then the introduced base::__member_name__
+// will cause mixin->__member_name__() call to fail to compile (due to ambiguity).
+// C3. &U::__member_name__ (a.k.a. &mixin::__member_name__)
+// has the type of func_type only if __T__::__member_name__ does not exist.
+// If __T__::member_name does exist, then mixin::__member_name__ is ambiguous
+// and "yes_type test (...)" kicks in instead.
+// C4. Need to find some unique/ugly name so that it does not clash if this macro is
+// used inside some other template class;
