    //! @ingroup group-core
    //! Create an object of the given tag with the given arguments.
    //!
    //! This function serves the same purpose as constructors in usual C++.
    //! However, instead of creating an object of a specific C++ type, it
    //! creates an object of a specific tag, regardless of the C++ type
    //! of that object.
    //!
    //! This function is actually a variable template, so `make<T>` can be
    //! passed around as a function object creating an object of tag `T`.
    //! Also, it uses tag-dispatching so this is how it should be customized
    //! for user-defined tags.
    //!
    //! Finally, the default implementation of `make` is equivalent to calling
    //! the constructor of the given tag with the corresponding arguments.
    //! In other words, by default,
    //! @code
    //!     make<T>(args...) == T(args...)
    //! @endcode
    //!
    //! Note that the arguments are perfectly forwarded and the form of
    //! construction which is used is exactly as documented, i.e. `T(args...)`.
    //! However, if `T(args...)` is not a valid expression, a compilation
    //! error is triggered. This default behavior is useful because it makes
    //! foreign C++ types that have no notion of tag constructible with `make`
    //! out-of-the-box, since their tag is exactly themselves.
    //!
    //!
    //! Example
    //! -------
    //! @include example/core/make.cpp
