<p>
        The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">normalise</span></code> class template
        converts one instantiation of the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">policy</span></code>
        class into a normalised form. This is used internally to reduce code bloat:
        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
        <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
        internally.
      </p>
<p>
        Further more, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">normalise</span></code> can
        be used to combine a policy with one or more policies: for example many of
        the special functions will use this to set policies which they don't make
        use of to their default values, before forwarding to the actual implementation.
        In this way code bloat is reduced, since the actual implementation depends
        only on the policy types that they actually use.
