    //! @ingroup group-details
    //! Provides a `.than` static constexpr function object.
    //!
    //! When creating a binary function object of type `Algo` whose signature
    //! is `A x B -> Return`, `nested_than<Algo>` can be used as a base class
    //! of `Algo`. Doing so will provide a static constexpr member called
    //! `than`, which has the following signature:
    //! @code
    //!     B -> A -> Return
    //! @endcode
    //!
    //! Note that the function object `Algo` must be default-constructible,
    //! since it will be called as `Algo{}(arguments...)`.
    //!
    //! @note
    //! This function object is especially useful because it takes care of
    //! avoiding ODR violations caused by the nested static constexpr member.
