The <b>BOOST_PP_APPLY</b> macro abstracts the difference between an argument and nothing.
</div>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<div class="code">
<b>BOOST_PP_APPLY</b>(<i>x</i>)
</div>
<h4>Arguments</h4>
<dl>
<dt>x</dt>
<dd>
The abstracted argument.&nbsp;
This argument must be either <b>BOOST_PP_NIL</b> or a <i>tuple</i> with one element--such as <i>(arg)</i> or <i>((a, b))</i>.
</dd>
</dl>
<h4>Remarks</h4>
<div>
If <i>x</i> is <b>BOOST_PP_NIL</b>, this macro expands to nothing.&nbsp;
If <i>x</i> is a one element <i>tuple</i>, it expands to the contents of that <i>tuple</i>.
