Hi Antony,

I've no immediate use for it yet; however, I would like to understand
the implementation.  I tried looking over the code here:

https://github.com/apolukhin/magic_get/blob/master/magic_get.hpp

However, it still was not obvious to me how the code works.
Could you please maybe provide some explanation of that?

TIA.

-regards,
Larry
