		The <b>BOOST_PP_LPAREN</b> macro expands to a left parenthesis.
	</div>
	<h4>Usage</h4>
		<div class="code">
			<b>BOOST_PP_LPAREN</b>()
		</div>
	<h4>Remarks</h4>
		<div>
			The preprocessor interprets parentheses as delimiters in macro invocations.&nbsp;
			Because of this, parentheses require special handling.
		</div>
