With an eye to verifying the existence of library using templates which would
not benefit from explicit type constraints I went through some of the
documentation of AFIO.  I posted a log of my notes as I went through it
here:

Of necessity, it sort of rambles around before it gets to the main point. 
That's because I had to start at the beginning in order to have enough
context to understand it.

Short version

a) I don't think this library demonstrates that type constraints wouldn't
help.  In fact I think the opposite.
b) This further reinforces my view that DOxygen is not a great system for
writing C++ documentation.
c) AFIO is much more complicated than I think it has to be - but I can't
prove this because its so hard to understand anything about it.
