<p>In essence, <tt class="literal"><span class="pre"><a href="./apply-wrap.html" class="identifier">apply_wrap</a></span></tt> forms are nothing more than syntactic wrappers around
<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">F::<a href="./apply.html" class="identifier">apply</a>&lt;A1,...</span> <span class="pre">An&gt;::type</span></tt> / <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">F::<a href="./apply.html" class="identifier">apply</a>::type</span></tt> expressions (hence the name).
They provide a more concise notation and higher portability than their
underlaying constructs at the cost of an extra template instantiation.</p>
