#ifndef CGAL_DEFAULT_ARGUMENT_H
#define CGAL_DEFAULT_ARGUMENT_H
// Default_argument is a tag that can be used to shrink mangled names and
// error messages in place of the default value of template arguments.
// It could also be used by users to specify default values to arguments which
// are not at the end of the argument list.
// It can also be useful to easily break cyclic dependencies in templates.
// Maybe we should provide a macro to disable it so as to show the arguments?
// Maybe we could document it?
// If_default_argument is a helper class which helps using this scheme.
