24 /* \brief This is an implementation of the enable if idiom.
25  *
26  * Enable if is a common C++ meta-programming technique for example
27  * there is a boost implementation, for more information on its usage
28  * please see:
29  * http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/libs/utility/enable_if.html
30  *
31  * This template enables specialization of a templated function based
32  * on some traits or concepts. It is implemented with SFINAE.
33  *
34  * If the parameter V is true then the Type trait is the second
35  * template parameter, otherwise an implementation does not exist and
36  * with SFIANE another implementation may be choosen.
37  *
38  * Example:
39  * \code
40  *
41  * template< typename T>
42  * typename EnableIfC<
43  * IsSame<T, typename NumericTraits<T>::ValueType>::Value,
44  * T >::Type
45  * GetComponent(const T pix,
46  * unsigned int itkNotUsed( idx ) ) const
47  * {
48  * return pix;
49  * }
50  * \endcode
