//   * `GroupName_##_tag` is used so that we can refer to a static dispatcher

//
//      We are however allowed to pass the variable of a variable declared
//      `extern`, and this will effectively be our handle to the "foreign"
//      static dispatcher.
//
//      We make the variable have type `DispatcherTag<__LINE__>` so that you
//      can use MKV_SWITCH_CREATE with the same name in different parts of the
//      translation-unit (without collision).
//
//   *  `GroupName_ ## _base` is used to declare a bunch of helpers; names that
//       must be available in our fake "lambdas" (C++03 is a pain).

//   * `Dispatcher` is a static function used to access the dispatcher in a

//   * The following is to be used inside `struct GroupName_`, effectivelly
//     declaring a local struct and a data-member, `ClassName_ ## _processor`,
//     of that type.
//
//     When the data-member is constructed it will run `InitializationExpr_`,
//     meaning that it can access the static dispatcher and register itself (or
//     whatever is desired).
//
//   * Since we need to do type-erasure, once again, because of the fact that
//     C++03 does not support locally declared types as template-arguments, we
//     declare a static function `ClassName_ ## _callback` that will cast our
//     payload from `void*` to the appropriate type.
//
//   * The body of `ClassName_ ## _handler` will be written by the user of the
//     MACRO, and the implementation will effectively be invoked whenever the
//     dispatcher decides to (through `ClassName_ ## _callback`).
//
//   * Since the type of the `VariableName_` argument to `ClassName_ ## _handler`
//     might not necessarily be the same as the type passed from the dispatcher
//     (because of the type-erasure), the macro provides a way to change the
//     type with a `UnwrapExpr_` (see the function call within `ClassName_ ##
//     _callback`).
