<p>
When building higher order transforms with
<code class="computeroutput">
<a class="link" href="make.html" title="Struct template make">proto::make<></a>
</code> or
<code class="computeroutput">
<a class="link" href="lazy.html" title="Struct template lazy">proto::lazy<></a>
</code>,
you sometimes would like to build types that are parameterized with Proto transforms. In such
lambda-style transforms, Proto will unhelpfully find all nested transforms and apply them, even
if you don't want them to be applied. Consider the following transform, which will replace the
<code class="computeroutput">proto::_</code> in
<code class="computeroutput">Bar<proto::_>()</code>
with <code class="computeroutput">proto::terminal<int>::type</code>:

<p>
If you actually wanted to default-construct an object of type
<code class="computeroutput">Bar<proto::_></code>, you would have to protect the
<code class="computeroutput">_</code> to prevent it from being applied. You can
use <code class="computeroutput">proto::protect<></code> as follows:

<pre class="programlisting"><span class="comment">// OK: replace anything with Bar<_>()</span>
