+// Macro: NDNBOOST_IOSTREAMS_FORWARD(class, impl, device, params, args)
+// Description: Defines constructors and overloads of 'open' which construct
+//      a device using the specified argument list and pass it to the specified
+//      helper function
+//   class - The class name
+//   impl - The helper function
+//   device - The device type
+//   params - The list of formal parameters trailing the device parameter in
+//     the helper function's signature
+//   params - The list of arguments passed to the helper function, following the
+//     device argument
+//
