    <para>
      A BasicPrimitiveTransform is class type that
      has a nested class template called impl that takes
      three template parameters representing an expression
      type, a state type and a data type. Specializations
      of the nested impl template are ternary monomorphic
      function objects that accept expression, state, and
      data parameters.
