Ahh - you are talking about the test. Sorry, I missed the file extension:

Actually this is an "example/test hybrid" take a look at

     libs/function_types/test/arity_and_type.cpp

This test is the output of an external code generator in the 'tools' directory 
and should be much more bullet proof (but this is a "real test" with no "example 
aspects", so I would not hyperlink it to the documentation).
