+/**
+* This template simplifies generation of simple classes that wrap an id
+* in a typesafe way. Namely, you can use it to create a very lightweight
+* type that only offers equality comparators and hashing. Example:
+*
+*   struct MyIdType final : IdValueType<MyIdType, uint32_t> {
+*     constexpr explicit MyIdType(uint32_t id): IdValueType(id) {}
+*   };
+*
+* Then in the global top level namespace:
+*
+*   DEFINE_HASH_FOR_VALUE_TYPE(MyIdType);
+*
+* That's it - equality operators and hash functions are automatically defined
+* for you, given the underlying type supports it.
+*
+* OrderedIdValueType: Use this instead of IdValueType if you need an ordering relation on your id type.
+* This will define the operators
+* - val < val
+* - val > val
+* - val <= val
+* - val >= val
+*
+* QuantityValueType: Use this if you want a full-blown value type with arithmetics.
+* Additionally to what OrderedIdValueType offers, this also defines:
+* - ++val, val++
+* - --val, val--
+* - val += val (returns val)
+* - val -= val (returns val)
+* - val *= scalar (returns val)
+* - val /= scalar (returns val)
+* - val %= scalar (returns val)
+* - val + val (returns val)
+* - val - val (returns val)
+* - val * scalar, scalar * val (returns val)
+* - val / scalar (returns val)
+* - val % scalar (returns val)
+* - val / val (returns scalar)
+* - val % val (returns scalar)
