    //! @ingroup group-details
    //! Provides a `.by` static constexpr function object.
    //!
    //! When creating a binary function object of type `Algorithm` whose
    //! signature is `Object x Predicate -> Return`, `nested_by<Algorithm>`
    //! can be used as a base class to `Algorithm`. Doing so will provide a
    //! static constexpr member called `by`, which has the two following
    //! signatures:
    //! @code
    //!     Predicate x Object -> Return
    //!     Predicate -> (Object -> Return)
    //! @endcode
    //!
    //! In other words, `nested_by` is a `curry`ed and `flip`ped version of
    //! `Algorithm`. Note that the function object `Algorithm` must be
    //! default-constructible, since the algorithm will be called as
    //! `Algorithm{}(arguments...)`.
    //!
    //! @note
    //! This function object is especially useful because it takes care of
    //! avoiding ODR violations caused by the nested static constexpr member.
