+ * Selects a single argument from a maximum set of three arguments at compile time.
+ * For example:
+ * \begincode
+ * SelectArg<0>()( 10, 20, "hello" ); // returns first argument ( 10 )
+ * SelectArg<1>()( 10, "hello", 30 ); // returns second argument ( "hello" )
+ * SelectArg<2>()( 10, "hello", 30 ); // returns third argument ( 30 )
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * The selection of argument 1 and 2 can return the last argument if the
+ * arguments are less or equal to two. For instance:
+ * \begincode
+ * SelectArg<1>()(10); // returns 10
+ * SelectArg<2>()(10, 20); // returns 20
+ * SelectArg<2>()(10); // returns 10
+ * \endcode
