    @ingroup Util
    @brief Declaration of the ORXONOX_VA_NARGS macro which returns the number of arguments passed to a variadic macro.

    With this utility you can overload a macro for different numbers of arguments
    (of course overloading is not possible for different types, as macros are not
    type aware, but for different numbers of arguments is still very powerful).

    Important: The macro can not be overloaded for 0 arguments: ORXONOX_VA_NARGS() returns 1!

    Example: A macro to call functions
    @code
    myfunction();                                           // A static function
    MyClass::myStaticFunction();                            // A static class function
    MyClass::myFunction();                                  // A member function

    #define CallFunction(...) \                             // Define a variadic macro that passes the arguments to the overloaded implementations
        BOOST_PP_EXPAND(BOOST_PP_CAT(CallFunction, ORXONOX_VA_NARGS(__VA_ARGS__))(__VA_ARGS__))

    #define CallFunction1(function) \                       // Overloaded macro for 1 argument
        function()                                          // Calls the static function

    #define CallFunction2(class, function) \                // Overloaded macro for 2 arguments
        class::function()                                   // Calls the static class function

    #define CallFunction3(class, function, object) \        // Overloaded macro for 3 arguments
        object->class::function()                           // Calls the function on the object


    CallFunction(myFunction);                               // Call the macro with 1 argument
    CallFunction(MyClass, myStaticFunction);                // Call the macro with 2 arguments
    CallFunction(MyClass, myFunction, new MyClass());       // Call the macro with 3 arguments
    @endcode

    Note that the first (variadic) macro concatenates the name "CallFunction" with
    the number of arguments ("1" - "N"). Then all arguments are passed to the right macro.
