BOOST_HANA_NAMESPACE_BEGIN
    //! @ingroup group-core
    //! Enable a partial specialization only if a boolean condition is true.
    //!
    //! You might also want to take a look at `when_valid`, which provides
    //! similar functionality but enables a specialziation only when some
    //! expression is well-formed.
    //!
    //! > #### Rationale for using `when` instead of `std::enable_if`
    //! > `when` is used to control the priority of partial specializations
    //! > in a finer grained manner than what can be achieved with the usual
    //! > `typename Enable = void` and `std::enable_if` pattern. For example,
    //! > a partially specialized tag-dispatched method will have a higher
    //! > priority than an equivalent specialization that uses `when`. For
    //! > more details, see the tutorial section on [tag-dispatching][1].
    //!
    //!
    //! Example
    //! -------
    //! @include example/core/when.cpp
    //!
    //! [1]: @ref tutorial-core-tag_dispatching
    template <bool condition>
    struct when;

    namespace core_detail {
        template <typename ...>
        struct always_true { static constexpr bool value = true; };
    }

    //! @ingroup group-core
    //! Variant of `when` allowing specializations to be enabled only if an
    //! expression is well-formed.
    //!
    //! `when_valid<...>` is always equivalent to `when<true>`. However, when
    //! used inside a partial specialization, SFINAE will cause the partial
    //! specialization to be ignored when the expression is ill-formed.
    //!
    //!
    //! Example
    //! -------
    //! @include example/core/when_valid.cpp
    //!
    //!
    //! @bug
    //! Using `when_valid` seems to trigger ambiguous partial specializations
    //! on GCC.
