/// -  bslim::Printer: mechanism to implement standard `print` methods
///
/// # Description {#bslim_printer-description}
/// This component provides a mechanism class, `bslim::Printer`,
/// that, in many cases, simplifies the implementation of types providing a
/// `print` method with the signature:
/// @code
/// bsl::ostream& print(bsl::ostream& stream,
///                     int           level          = 0,
///                     int           spacesPerLevel = 4) const;
///     // Format this object to the specified output 'stream' at the (absolute
///     // value of) the optionally specified indentation 'level' and return a
///     // reference to 'stream'.  If 'level' is specified, optionally specify
///     // 'spacesPerLevel', the number of spaces per indentation level for
///     // this and all of its nested objects.  If 'level' is negative,
///     // suppress indentation of the first line.  If 'spacesPerLevel' is
///     // negative format the entire output on one line, suppressing all but
///     // the initial indentation (as governed by 'level').  If 'stream' is
///     // not valid on entry, this operation has no effect.
/// @endcode
/// Note that all value-semantic types are expected to provide this method.
/// `bslim::Printer` also supports generic containers, including those in BSL's
/// standard library implementation, through use of standard conforming
/// iterators and the `bslalg::HasStlIterators` trait.  Use of the `Printer`
/// mechanism provides a uniform style of output formatting:
///
/// * Enclose the object's salient attributes with square brackets.
/// * Prefix each attribute with the attribute's name, separated by an "equal"
///   sign surrounded by space characters (" = ").
/// * If the attributes are to be printed on multiple lines, then print them
///   with one more level of indentation than that of the enclosing brackets.
///   If any of the attributes are compositions, then the composite values
///   must be printed with an additional level of indentation.
/// * If the attributes are to be printed on a single line, then separate each
///   value with a single space character.
/// * For small, common types, such as `bdlt::Date`, the names of attributes,
///   equal sign, and brackets may be omitted, with the entire value
///   represented on a single line in a custom format.  For example, the
///   `bdlt::Date::print` method emits the date value in the format: 01JAN2001.
///
/// For example, consider a class having two attributes, `ticker`, represented
/// by a `bsl::string`, and `price`, represented by a `double`.  The output for
/// a `print` method that produces standardized output for
/// `print(bsl::cout, 0, -4)` (single-line output) is shown below:
/// @code
/// [ ticker = "ABC" price = 65.89 ]
/// @endcode
/// Output for `print(bsl::cout, 0, 4)` (multi-line output) is shown below:
/// @code
/// [
///     ticker = "ABC"
///     price = 65.89
/// ]
/// @endcode
/// The `Printer` mechanism provides methods and method templates to format data
/// as described above.  `Printer` objects are instantiated with the target
/// stream to be written to, and the values of the indentation level of the
/// data, `level`, and the spaces per level, `spacesPerLevel`.  The methods
/// provided by `Printer`, `printAttribute`, `printValue`, `printOrNull`,
/// `printHexAddr` and `printForeign`, use these values for formatting.  The
/// `start` and `end` methods print the enclosing brackets of the output.  In
/// order to generate the standard output format, `start` should be called
/// before any of the other methods, and `end` should be called after all the
/// other methods have been called.
///
/// ## Usage {#bslim_printer-usage}
///
///
/// In the following examples, we examine the implementation of the `print`
/// method of different types of classes using `Printer`.
///
/// ### Example 1: print Method for a Value-Semantic Class {#bslim_printer-example-1-print-method-for-a-value-semantic-class}
///
///
/// In this example, we demonstrate how to use `Printer` to implement the
/// standard `print` function of a value-semantic class having multiple
/// attributes.  Suppose we have a class, `StockTrade`, that provides a
/// container for a fixed set of attributes.  A `StockTrade` object has four
/// attributes, `ticker`, `price`, `quantity`, and optional `notes`:
/// @code
/// class StockTrade {
///     // This class represents the properties of a stock trace.
///
///     // DATA
///     bsl::string                d_ticker;    // ticker symbol
///     double                     d_price;     // stock price
///     double                     d_quantity;  // quanity traded
///     bsl::optional<bsl::string> d_notes;     // optional trade notes
///
///   public:
///     ...
///
///     // ACCESSORS
///     bsl::ostream& print(bsl::ostream& stream,
///                         int           level = 0,
///                         int           spacesPerLevel = 4) const
///     {
///         if (stream.bad()) {
///             return stream;                                        // RETURN
///         }
///
///         bslim::Printer printer(&stream, level, spacesPerLevel);
///         printer.start();
///         printer.printAttribute("ticker",   d_ticker);
///         printer.printAttribute("price",    d_price);
///         printer.printAttribute("quantity", d_quantity);
///         printer.printAttribute("notes",    d_notes);
///         printer.end();
///
///         return stream;
///     }
/// };
/// @endcode
/// Sample output for `StockTrade::print(bsl::cout, 0, -4)`:
/// @code
/// [ ticker = "IBM" price = 107.3 quantity = 200 notes = "XYZ" ]
/// @endcode
/// Sample output for `StockTrade::print(bsl::cout, 0, 4)`:
/// @code
/// [
///     ticker = "IBM"
///     price = 107.3
///     quantity = 200
///     notes = "XYZ"
/// ]
/// @endcode
///
/// ### Example 2: print Method for a Mechanism Class {#bslim_printer-example-2-print-method-for-a-mechanism-class}
///
///
/// In this example, we discuss the implementation of `print` for a mechanism
/// class.  A mechanism class does not have any salient attributes that define
/// its value (as a mechanism does not have a "value").  However, the `print`
/// method may be implemented to output the internal state of an object of such
/// a type, e.g., for debugging purposes.
///
/// For example, consider a memory manager class, `BlockList`, that maintains a
/// linked list of memory blocks:
/// @code
/// class BlockList {
///     // This class implements a low-level memory manager that allocates and
///     // manages a sequence of memory blocks.
///
///     // TYPES
///     struct Block {
///         // This 'struct' overlays the beginning of each managed block of
///         // allocated memory, implementing a doubly-linked list of managed
///         // blocks, and thereby enabling constant-time deletions from, as
///         // well as additions to, the list of blocks.
///
///         Block                                *d_next_p;       // next
///                                                               // pointer
///
///         Block                               **d_addrPrevNext; // enable
///                                                               // delete
///
///         bsls::AlignmentUtil::MaxAlignedType   d_memory;       // force
///                                                               // alignment
///     };
///
///     // DATA
///     Block            *d_head_p;      // address of first block of memory
///                                      // (or 0)
///
///     bslma::Allocator *d_allocator_p; // memory allocator; held, but not
///                                      // owned
///
///   public:
///     // ...
///     // ACCESSORS

///     bsl::ostream& print(bsl::ostream& stream,

///                         int           spacesPerLevel = 4) const;
/// };
/// @endcode
/// For the purposes of debugging, it may be useful to print the starting
/// address of every memory block in a `BlockList`, which can be done using the
/// `printHexAddr` method of the `Printer` class:
/// @code
/// bsl::ostream& BlockList::print(bsl::ostream& stream,
///                                int           level,
///                                int           spacesPerLevel) const
/// {
///     if (stream.bad()) {
///         return stream;                                            // RETURN
///     }
///
///     bslim::Printer printer(&stream, level, spacesPerLevel);
///     printer.start();
///     for (Block *it = d_head_p; it; it = it->d_next_p) {
///         printer.printHexAddr(it, 0);
///     }
///     printer.end();
///
///     return stream;
/// }
/// @endcode
/// Sample output for 'BlockList::print(bsl::cout, 0, -4):

/// ### Example 4: Printing Ranges, and Typed Pointers {#bslim_printer-example-4-printing-ranges-and-typed-pointers}
///
///
/// In this examples we demonstrate two capabilities of a `bslim::Printer`
/// object: printing a range of elements using iterators and printing a pointer
/// type.
///
/// The `printValue` or `printAttribute` methods of `bslim::Printer` will print
/// out all of the elements in the range specified by a pair of iterator
/// arguments, which can be of any type that provides appropriately behaving
/// operators `++`, `*`, and `==` (a non-void pointer would qualify).
///
/// When `bslim` encounters a single pointer of type `TYPE *`, where `TYPE` is
/// neither `void` nor `char`, the pointer value is printed out in hex followed
/// by printing out the value of `TYPE`.  A compile error will occur if bslim is
/// unable to print out `TYPE`.
///
/// As an example, we print out a range of pointers to sets.
///
/// First we create 3 sets and populate them with different values.
/// @code
/// typedef bsl::set<int> Set;
///
/// Set s0, s1, s2;
///
/// s0.insert(0);
/// s0.insert(1);
/// s0.insert(2);
///
/// s1.insert(4);
/// s1.insert(5);
///
/// s2.insert(8);
/// @endcode
/// Then, we store the addresses to those 3 sets into a fixed-length array:
/// @code
/// const Set *setArray[] = { &s0, &s1, &s2 };
/// const int NUM_SET_ARRAY = sizeof setArray / sizeof *setArray;
/// @endcode
/// Next we use `printValue` to print a range of values by supplying an iterator
/// to the beginning and end of the range, in the address of `setArray` and the
/// address one past the end of `setArray`:
/// @code
/// bslim::Printer printer(&cout, 0, -1);
/// printer.printValue(setArray + 0, setArray + NUM_SET_ARRAY);
/// @endcode
///  The expected output is:
/// @code
/// [ 0xffbfd688 [ 0 1 2 ] 0xffbfd678 [ 4 5 ] 0xffbfd668 [ 8 ] ]
/// @endcode
///
/// ### Example 5: print Method for a Low-Level Value-Semantic Class {#bslim_printer-example-5-print-method-for-a-low-level-value-semantic-class}
///
///
/// For very simple classes, it may be desirable always to format the attributes
/// on a single line.  In this example, we discuss the `print` method formatting
/// for such a low-level value-semantic class.
///
/// Usually, single-line or multi-line formatting options are specified by the
/// value of the `spacesPerLevel` argument, but for a simple class that always
/// prints on a single line, the only difference between the single- and
/// multi-line cases is that a newline character is printed at the end of the
