18 //! Return the number of elements in a foldable structure.
19 //! @ingroup group-Foldable
20 //!
21 //! Given a `Foldable` `xs`, `length(xs)` must return an object of an
22 //! unsigned integral type, or an `IntegralConstant` holding such an
23 //! object, which represents the number of elements in the structure.
24 //!
25 //! @note
26 //! Since only compile-time `Foldable`s are supported in the library
27 //! right now, `length` must always return an `IntegralConstant`.
28 //!

30 //! Example
31 //! -------
32 //! @include example/length.cpp
