[section Versioning]

This section describes how the library is prepared for supporting multiple
(not backward compatible) changes.

[section Template classes]

The elements of the library are defined in the `boost::metaparse::v1`
namespace. For example the `one_char` class is
`boost::metaparse::v1::one_char` and is available after including the
`<boost/metaparse/v1/one_char.hpp>` header file.

At the same time the library provides the `<boost/metaparse/one_char.hpp>`
header file which includes `<boost/metaparse/v1/one_char.hpp>` and contains
the following:

  namespace boost
  {
    namespace metaparse
    {
      using v1::one_char;
    }
  }

This makes it possible to use `one_char` as `boost::metaparse::one_char`.

Future versions of the library may provide other namespaces (eg. `v2`). The
header files in `<boost/metaparse/...>` provide the latest version of the
library. To always get version `v1`, one should use header files in
`<boost/metaparse/v1/...>`.

The library does not use inline namespaces to work on compilers that do not
support them.

[section Macros]

Macros defined by the library are prefixed with `BOOST_METAPARSE_V1_`. For
example `BOOST_METAPARSE_V1_STRING`. It is defined in the
`<boost/metaparse/v1/string.hpp>` header file. The library provides the
`<boost/metaparse/string.hpp>` header file as well, which includes the
definition of this macro and provides the following definition:

  #define BOOST_METAPARSE_STRING BOOST_METAPARSE_V1_STRING

This makes it possible to use the macro as `BOOST_METAPARSE_STRING`. Future
versions of the library may define other versions of this macro (eg.
`BOOST_METAPARSE_V2_STRING`). `BOOST_METAPARSE_STRING` will refer to the latest
version.

This versioning does not affect macros that may be overridden by the code using
the library. (eg. `BOOST_METAPARSE_LIMIT_STRING_SIZE`)
