	<div style="margin-left:  0px;">
		The <b>BOOST_PP_LOCAL_LIMITS</b> macro is a user-defined <i>named external argument</i> used by <b>BOOST_PP_LOCAL_ITERATE</b>.
	</div>
	<h4>Usage</h4>
		<div class="code">
			#define <b>BOOST_PP_LOCAL_LIMITS</b> (<i>start</i>, <i>finish</i>)
		</div>
	<h4>Arguments</h4>
		<dl>
			<dt>start</dt>
			<dd>
				The lower bound (inclusive) of a <i>local iteration</i>.&nbsp;
				Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_ITERATION</b>.
			</dd>
			<dt>finish</dt>
			<dd>
				The upper bound (inclusive) of a <i>local iteration</i>.&nbsp;
				Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_ITERATION</b>.
			</dd>
		</dl>
	<h4>Remarks</h4>
		<div>
			Note that there is a whitespace character after the macro identifier.
		</div>
		<div>
			This macro must expand to a <i>2</i>-element <i>tuple</i>.&nbsp;
			The elements of this <i>tuple</i> represent the lower and upper boundaries of a <i>local iteration</i>.&nbsp;
			Both <i>start</i> and <i>finish</i> are <i>evaluated parameters</i>.&nbsp;
			This implies that they can include simple arithmetic expressions (such as <i>1</i> + <i>3</i>), etc..
		</div>
		<div>
			This macro is automatically undefined for reuse by a call to <b>BOOST_PP_LOCAL_ITERATE</b>.
