	<div style="margin-left:  0px;">
		The <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT_FROM_TO_<i>z</i></b> macro represents a reentry into the <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT_FROM_TO</b> repetition construct.
	</div>
	<h4>Usage</h4>
		<div class="code">
			<b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT_FROM_TO_</b> ## <i>z</i>(<i>first</i>, <i>last</i>, <i>macro</i>, <i>data</i>)
		</div>
	<h4>Arguments</h4>
		<dl>
			<dt>z</dt>
			<dd>
				The next available <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b> dimension.
			</dd>
			<dt>first</dt>
			<dd>
				The lower bound of the repetition.&nbsp;
				Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>.
			</dd>
			<dt>last</dt>
			<dd>
				The upper bound of the repetition.
				Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>.
			</dd>
			<dt>macro</dt>
			<dd>
				A ternary operation of the form <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>n</i>, <i>data</i>).&nbsp;
				This macro is expanded by <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b> with the next available repetition depth,
				the current repetition number, and the auxiliary <i>data</i> argument.&nbsp;
			</dd>
			<dt>data</dt>
			<dd>
				Auxiliary data passed to <i>macro</i>.
			</dd>
		</dl>
	<h4>Remarks</h4>
		<div>
			This macro expands to the sequence:
			<div>
				<i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>first</i>, <i>data</i>) <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>first</i> + <i>1</i>, <i>data</i>) ... <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>last</i> - <i>1</i>, <i>data</i>)
			</div>
		</div>
		<div>
			The number of repetitions (i.e. <i>last</i> - <i>first</i>) must not exceed <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_REPEAT</b>.
		</div>
		<div>
			At certain times, it may be necessary to perform the concatenation with <b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b> rather than the preprocessor token-pasting operator.&nbsp;
			This happens when the <i>z</i> value is a macro invocation itself.&nbsp;
			It needs a delay to allow it to expand.&nbsp;
			The syntax in such a scenario becomes:
			<div>
				<b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b>(<b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT_FROM_TO_</b>, <i>z</i>)(<i>count</i>, <i>macro</i>, <i>data</i>).
			</div>
		</div>
