/** Expands to X once invoked.

Designed to be used with BOOST_PP_IF(), when one of the clauses need to be invoked.

For example,

<PRE>\verbatim
  BOOST_PP_IDENTITY(X)()
  //                  ^^ NOTE!
\endverbatim</PRE>

expands to:

<PRE>\verbatim
  X
\endverbatim</PRE>

NOTE: If BOOST_PP_IDENTITY() is not invoked, the expansion will not be usable.
