+// Utility to compare version numbers. To use:
+// 1) Define a macro that makes a version number from major and minor numbers, e. g.:
+//    #define MYPRODUCT_MAKE_VERSION(_MAJOR, _MINOR) (_MAJOR * 100 + _MINOR)
+// 2) Define a macro that you will use to compare versions, e. g.:
+//    #define MYPRODUCT(...) _CCCL_VERSION_COMPARE(MYPRODUCT, MYPRODUCT_##__VA_ARGS__)
+//    Signatures:
+//       MYPRODUCT(_PROD)                      - is the product _PROD version non-zero?
+//       MYPRODUCT(_PROD, _OP, _MAJOR)         - compare the product _PROD version to _MAJOR using operator _OP
+//       MYPRODUCT(_PROD, _OP, _MAJOR, _MINOR) - compare the product _PROD version to _MAJOR._MINOR using operator _OP
