+/**
+ * MOZ_DEFINE_ENUM(aEnumName, aEnumerators) is a macro that allows
+ * simultaneously defining an enumeration named |aEnumName|, and a constant
+ * that stores the number of enumerators it has.
+ *
+ * The motivation is to allow the enumeration to evolve over time without
+ * either having to manually keep such a constant up to date, or having to
+ * add a special "sentinel" enumerator for this purpose. (While adding a
+ * "sentinel" enumerator is trivial, it causes headaches with "switch"
+ * statements. We often try to write "switch" statements whose cases exhaust
+ * the enumerators and don't have a "default" case, so that if a new
+ * enumerator is added and we forget to handle it in the "switch", the
+ * compiler points it out. But this means we need to explicitly handle the
+ * sentinel in every "switch".)
+ *
+ * |aEnumerators| is expected to be a comma-separated list of enumerators,
+ * enclosed in parentheses. The enumerators may NOT have associated
+ * initializers (an attempt to have one will result in a compiler error).
+ * This ensures that the enumerator values are in the range [0, N), where N
+ * is the number of enumerators.
+ *
+ * The list of enumerators cannot contain a trailing comma. This is a
+ * limitation of MOZ_FOR_EACH, which we use in the implementation; if
+ * MOZ_FOR_EACH supported trailing commas, we could too.
+ *
+ * The generated constant has the name "k" + |aEnumName| + "Count", and type
+ * "size_t". The enumeration and the constant are both defined in the scope
+ * in which the macro is invoked.
+ *
+ * For convenience, a constant of the enumeration type named
+ * "kHighest" + |aEnumName| is also defined, whose value is the highest
+ * valid enumerator, assuming the enumerators have contiguous values starting
+ * from 0.
+ *
+ * Invocation of the macro may be followed by a semicolon, if one prefers a
+ * more declaration-like syntax.
+ *
+ * Example invocation:
+ * MOZ_DEFINE_ENUM(MyEnum, (Foo, Bar, Baz));
+ *
+ * This expands to:
+ * enum MyEnum { Foo, Bar, Baz };
+ * constexpr size_t kMyEnumCount = 3;
+ * constexpr MyEnum kHighestMyEnum = MyEnum(kMyEnumCount - 1);
+ * // some static_asserts to ensure the values are in the range [0, 3)
+ *
+ * The macro also has several variants:
+ *
+ * - A |_CLASS| variant, which generates an |enum class| instead of
+ * a plain enum.
+ *
+ * - A |_WITH_BASE| variant which generates an enum with a specified
+ * underlying ("base") type, which is provided as an additional
+ * argument in second position.
+ *
+ * - An |_AT_CLASS_SCOPE| variant, designed for enumerations defined
+ * at class scope. For these, the generated constants are static,
+ * and have names prefixed with "s" instead of "k" as per
+ * naming convention.
+ *
+ * (and combinations of these).
+ */
+
+/*
+ * A helper macro for asserting that an enumerator does not have an initializer.
+ *
+ * The static_assert and the comparison are just scaffolding; the important
+ * part is forming the expression |aEnumName::aEnumeratorDecl|.
+ *
+ * If |aEnumeratorDecl| is just the enumerator name without an identifier,
+ * this expression compiles fine. However, if |aEnumeratorDecl| includes an
+ * initializer, as in |eEnumerator = initializer|, then this will fail to
+ * compile in expression context, since |eEnumerator| is not an lvalue.
+ *
+ * (The static_assert itself should always pass in the absence of the above
+ * error, since turning on a bit can only increase an integer value. It just
+ * provides a place to put the expression we want to form.)
