+// Synopsis:
+// CombineAs<MyClass>(gen1, gen2, ..., genN)
+//   - returns a generator producing sequences with elements coming from
+//     the Cartesian product of elements from the sequences generated by
+//     gen1, gen2, ..., genN. The sequence elements will have a type of
+//     Myclass where elements from sequences produced by gen1, gen2, ..., genN
+//     was provided to the MyClass constructor parameters.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+// This will instantiate tests in test suite AnimalTest each one with
+// the parameter values Animal("cat", BLACK), Animal("cat", WHITE),
+// Animal("dog", BLACK), and Animal("dog", WHITE):
+// enum Color { BLACK, GRAY, WHITE };
