  31       behind the library. Actors are function objects. An actor can accept 0 to

  45       Phoenix supplies an <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">actor</span></code> class
  46       template whose specializations model the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Actor</span></code>
  47       concept. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">actor</span></code> has one template
  48       parameter, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Expr</span></code>, that supplies
  49       the underlying expression to evaluate.

  69       The actor class accepts the arguments through a set of function call operators
  70       for 0 to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_PHOENIX_LIMIT</span></code>
  71       arities (Don't worry about the details, for now. Note, for example, that we
  72       skimp over the details regarding <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">return_type</span></code>).
  73       The arguments are passed through to the evaluation mechanism. For more information
  74       see <a class="link" href="inside/actor.html" title="Actors in Detail">Inside Actors</a>.
