 226         The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">normalise</span></code> class template
 227         converts one instantiation of the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">policy</span></code>
 228         class into a normalised form. This is used internally to reduce code bloat:
 229         so that instantiating a special function on <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">policy</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">A</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">B</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> or
 230         <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">policy</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">B</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">A</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> actually both generate the same code
 231         internally.
 232       </p>
 233 <p>
 234         Further more, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">normalise</span></code> can
 235         be used to combine a policy with one or more policies: for example many of
 236         the special functions will use this to set policies which they don't make
 237         use of to their default values, before forwarding to the actual implementation.
 238         In this way code bloat is reduced, since the actual implementation depends
 239         only on the policy types that they actually use.
