### tag_of

##### Description

All conforming Fusion sequences and iterators have an associated tag type. The purpose of the tag is to enable tag dispatching from Intrinsic functions to implementations appropriate for the type.

This metafunction may be specialized to accommodate clients providing Fusion conforming sequences.

##### Synopsis

    namespace traits
    {
        template<typename Sequence>
        struct tag_of
        {
            typedef unspecified type;
        };
    }

##### Parameters

Parameter | Requirement | Description
--- | --- | ---
`T` | Any type | The type to query.

##### Expression Semantics

    typedef traits::tag_of<T>::type tag;

Return type: Any type.

Semantics: Returns the tag type associated with `T`.

##### Header

    #include <boost/fusion/support/tag_of.hpp>
    #include <boost/fusion/include/tag_of.hpp>

##### Example

    typedef traits::tag_of<list<> >::type tag1;
    typedef traits::tag_of<list<int> >::type tag2;
    typedef traits::tag_of<vector<> >::type tag3;
    typedef traits::tag_of<vector<int> >::type tag4;

    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT((boost::is_same<tag1, tag2>));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT((boost::is_same<tag3, tag4>));
