// 311-Gen-CustomCapture.cpp
// Shows how to provide custom capture list to the generator expression

// Note that using variables inside generators is dangerous and should
// be done only if you know what you are doing, because the generators
// _WILL_ outlive the variables. Also, even if you know what you are
// doing, you should probably use GENERATE_COPY or GENERATE_REF macros
// instead. However, if your use case requires having a
// per-variable custom capture list, this example shows how to achieve
// that.
