	<div style="margin-left:  0px;">
		The <b>BOOST_PP_MUL_D</b> macro expands to the product of its second and third arguments.&nbsp;
		It reenters <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b> with maximum efficiency.
	</div>
	<h4>Usage</h4>
		<div class="code">
			<b>BOOST_PP_MUL_D</b>(<i>d</i>, <i>x</i>, <i>y</i>)
		</div>
	<h4>Arguments</h4>
		<dl>
			<dt>d</dt>
			<dd>
				The next available <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b> iteration.&nbsp;
			</dd>
			<dt>x</dt>
			<dd>
				The multiplicand of the operation.&nbsp;
				Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>.
			</dd>
			<dt>y</dt>
			<dd>
				The multiplier of the operation.&nbsp;
				Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>.
			</dd>
		</dl>
	<h4>Remarks</h4>
		<div>
			If the product of <i>x</i> and <i>y</i> is greater than <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>, the result is saturated to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>.
		</div>
		<div>
			This macro is the most efficient when <i>x</i> is greater than or equal to <i>y</i>.&nbsp;
			However, the efficiency gain is not worth actually comparing the two arguments prior to invocation.&nbsp;
			In other words, <i>x</i> should be the value that is <i>most likely</i> to be the largest of the two operands.
