  /** \brief An index constant with value i
   *
   * An index constant is a simple type alias for an integral_constant.
   * Its main advantages are clarity (it is easier to see that code uses it
   * as an index) and the fact that the integral type is fixed, reducing verbosity
   * and avoiding the problem of maybe trying to overload / specialize using a different
   * integral type.

  /** \brief Namespace with predefined compile time indices for the range [0,19]
   *
   * The predefined index objects in this namespace are `constexpr`, which allows them to
   * be used in situations where a compile time constant is needed, e.g. for a template
   * parameter. Apart from that, `constexpr` implies internal linkage, which helps to avoid
   * ODR problems.
   *
   * The constants implicitly convert to their contained value, so you can for example write
   *
   * \code{.cc}
   * std::array<int,_10> a;
   * // the above line is equivalent to
   * std::array<int,10> b;
   * \endcode
