[section in_range]

[h1 Synopsis]

  namespace util
  {
    template <class LowerBound, class UpperBound, class Item>
    struct in_range;
  }

This is a [link metafunction template metafunction] supporting
[link currying currying].

[table Arguments
  [[Name]         [Type]]
  [[`LowerBound`] [[link boxed_value boxed integral value]]]
  [[`UpperBound`] [[link boxed_value boxed integral value]]]
  [[`Item`]       [[link boxed_value boxed integral value]]]
]

[h1 Description]

It returns a boxed boolean value. The value is `true` when `Item` is in the
range `[LowerBound..UpperBound]` and `false` otherwise. `boost::mpl::less_equal`
is used for comparison.

[h1 Header]

  #include <boost/metaparse/util/in_range.hpp>

[h1 Expression semantics]

For any `L`, `U` and `T` classes the following are equivalent:

  in_range<L, U>::apply<T>::type::value
  
  boost::mpl::less_equal<L, T>::type::value
    && boost::mpl::less_equal<T, U>::type::value

[h1 Example]

  #include <boost/metaparse/util/in_range.hpp>
  
  #include <boost/mpl/int.hpp>
  
  using namespace boost::metaparse;

    !util::in_range<
      boost::mpl::int_<11>,
      boost::mpl::int_<13>,
      boost::mpl::int_<10>
    >::type::value,
    "A value below the lower bound should not be in the range"
  );
  
  static_assert(
    !util::in_range<
      boost::mpl::int_<11>,
      boost::mpl::int_<13>,
      boost::mpl::int_<14>
