-
-When defined to `1`, a `basic_json` value can no longer be constructed from a one-element `std::tuple` whose element is
-a reference to that `basic_json` type, such as `std::tuple<json&>`, `std::tuple<const json&>`, or `std::tuple<json&&>`.
-These are the tuples created by `std::forward_as_tuple(j)`.
-
-## Default definition
-
-The default value is `0` (disabled — existing behavior is preserved).
-
-```cpp
-#define JSON_DISABLE_TUPLE_REFERENCE_CONVERSION 0
-```
-
-## Notes
-
-!!! note "Background"
-
-    By default, `basic_json` can be constructed from any `std::tuple` whose elements can be converted to JSON; the result
-    is an array. This includes `std::tuple<json&>`, which becomes a one-element array.
-
-    `std::tuple` only converts another tuple element by element if its element type cannot be constructed from the whole
-    source tuple. Because `json` *can* be constructed from `std::tuple<json&>`, `std::tuple` instead converts the whole
-    tuple into a single `json` value. This has two surprising effects:
-
-    ```cpp
-    json j = true;
-
-    // rejected by some standard libraries (e.g., libc++); with others, the
-    // reference binds to a temporary that is destroyed right away
-    std::tuple<const json&> t1(std::forward_as_tuple(j));
-
-    // compiles, but std::get<0>(t2) is [true], not true
-    std::tuple<json> t2(std::forward_as_tuple(j));
-    ```
-
-    Enabling this macro removes the conversion, so both tuples are converted element by element: `std::get<0>(t1)`
-    refers to `j`, and `std::get<0>(t2)` is a copy of `j` (see [#2226](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/2226)).
-
-!!! warning "Opt-in only"
-
-    This macro must be defined **before** including `<nlohmann/json.hpp>`. Defining it after the include has no effect.
-
-!!! note "Affected conversions"
-
-    Only one-element tuples holding a reference to the **same** `basic_json` type are affected. Constructing a JSON value
-    from them no longer compiles:
-
-    ```cpp
-    json j = true;
-    json a = std::forward_as_tuple(j);  // error with the macro enabled
-    json b = json::array({j});          // use this instead: [true]
-    ```
-
-    Tuples holding a JSON value (`std::make_tuple(j)`), tuples with more than one element, and tuples holding references
-    to other types (including other `basic_json` specializations) are converted to arrays as before.
-
-!!! hint "CMake option"
-
-    This behavior can also be controlled with the CMake option
-    [`JSON_DisableTupleReferenceConversion`](../../integration/cmake.md#json_disabletuplereferenceconversion)
-    (`OFF` by default) which defines `JSON_DISABLE_TUPLE_REFERENCE_CONVERSION` accordingly.

-Generates the argument-counting macros behind the `NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_*` and `NLOHMANN_DEFINE_DERIVED_TYPE_*`
-macros in [`include/nlohmann/detail/macro_scope.hpp`](../../include/nlohmann/detail/macro_scope.hpp):
-
- `NLOHMANN_JSON_EXPAND`
- `NLOHMANN_JSON_GET_MACRO`, which selects a macro by the number of its arguments (64 slots)
- `NLOHMANN_JSON_PASTE`, which calls a function-like macro for each member, and its helpers `NLOHMANN_JSON_PASTE2`
-  to `NLOHMANN_JSON_PASTE64`
- `NLOHMANN_JSON_DOUBLE_PASTE`, which the `*_WITH_NAMES` macros use to call a function-like macro for each
-  (JSON name, member) pair, and its helpers `NLOHMANN_JSON_DOUBLE_PASTE3` to `NLOHMANN_JSON_DOUBLE_PASTE63`
- the slot table of `NLOHMANN_JSON_TYPE_BODY`, which dispatches `NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_*(Type)` (no further
-  arguments) to the zero-member implementation and every other argument count to the one-or-more-member
-  implementation
-
-The number of slots (`max_args` in [`main.cpp`](main.cpp)) sets the member limit of these macros.
-`NLOHMANN_JSON_PASTE` and `NLOHMANN_JSON_TYPE_BODY` take the function/prefix as their first argument, so 64 slots
-allow 63 members; `NLOHMANN_JSON_DOUBLE_PASTE` additionally consumes its members two at a time (name, member), so
-it only defines the odd helpers up to `NLOHMANN_JSON_DOUBLE_PASTE63`.
-
-## Usage
-
-From the project root:
-
-```shell
-c++ -std=c++11 tools/macro_builder/main.cpp -o macro_builder
-./macro_builder
-./macro_builder type_body
-```
-
-1. Run `./macro_builder` (no arguments). In `include/nlohmann/detail/macro_scope.hpp`, replace the lines from
-   `#define NLOHMANN_JSON_EXPAND( x ) x` to the `#define NLOHMANN_JSON_DOUBLE_PASTE63(...)` line with the output,
-   without its trailing empty line.
-2. Run `./macro_builder type_body`. Replace the lines from `#define NLOHMANN_JSON_TYPE_BODY(Prefix, ...)` to the
-   `NLOHMANN_JSON_TYPE_BODY_SENTINEL))` line with the output.
-3. Run `make amalgamate`. It updates `single_include/nlohmann/json.hpp` and runs `make pretty`, which indents the
-   continuation lines that the tool writes unindented.
-
-With an unchanged `main.cpp`, these steps reproduce both blocks of `macro_scope.hpp` byte for byte. `make
-macro_builder_check` (also run by CI, see `.github/workflows/check_amalgamation.yml`) automates this: it builds
-`main.cpp`, regenerates both blocks, and fails on a diff against the checked-in header.
-
-## Maintained by hand
-
-The tool does not generate everything that depends on the number of slots. When changing `max_args`, also update:
-
- the documented limit of 63 members in `docs/mkdocs/docs` and the tests at that limit in
-  `tests/src/unit-udt_macro.cpp`
-
-All three tables pass one macro name per slot to `NLOHMANN_JSON_GET_MACRO`, so they need exactly as many entries as
-it has slots.
