+// ConvertGenerator() wraps a parameter generator in order to cast each prduced
+// value through a known type before supplying it to the test suite

+// Synopsis:
+// ConvertGenerator<T>(gen)
+//   - returns a generator producing the same elements as generated by gen, but
+//     each element is static_cast to type T before being returned
+//
+// It is useful when using the Combine() function to get the generated
+// parameters in a custom type instead of std::tuple
+//
+// Example:
+//
+// This will instantiate tests in test suite AnimalTest each one with
+// the parameter values tuple("cat", BLACK), tuple("cat", WHITE),
+// tuple("dog", BLACK), and tuple("dog", WHITE):
+//
+// enum Color { BLACK, GRAY, WHITE };
