| A default constructor is provided for each form, which initializes each component |
| to the default values for their type (i.e. zero for floating numbers). This |
| constructor can also accept one to eight base type arguments. A constructor |
| is also provided to build octonions from one to four complex numbers sharing |
| the same base type, and another taking one or two quaternions sharing the |
| same base type. The unspecialized template also sports a templarized copy |
| constructor, while the specialized forms have copy constructors from the |
| other two specializations, which are explicit when a risk of precision loss |
| exists. For the unspecialized form, the base type's constructors must not |
| throw. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Destructors and untemplated copy constructors (from the same type) are provided |
| by the compiler. Converting copy constructors make use of a templated helper |
| function in a "detail" subnamespace. |
