/// Expression storage wrapper. This could also be called `named_expression`.
/// This allows spirit expressions to be instantiated in global variables
/// along with a simple name string (and potentially other metadata). Why not
/// just use a rule, you say? The rule templates perform type erasure on the
/// original expression by constructing function objects which are prototyped
/// to the rule such that the expression is lost behind a call. Compilers are
/// able to optimize this like it was never even there, but only when all rules
/// are constructed in a local stack frame. **Clang is unable to compose rules
/// defined at global scope without indirect calls**.
///
/// Declarations of this object are blessed with C++17 template deduction. At
/// global scope, compose expressions first before constructing a single rule
/// right before parsing. !!! Do not allow global scope rules to refer to each
/// other, even at function scope. !!! Do not allow exprs to refer to rules,
/// ever. !!! Only allow global scope rules to refer to exprs, and exprs to
/// other exprs.
///
/// Rules constructed at function scope usually generate fully inline parsers.
/// Rules constructed at global scope usually generate parsers behind a direct
/// call. Everything else generates a soup of handler functions behind a web
/// of indirect calls.
