Detailed Description

template<typename T, unsigned int D>
template<unsigned int Power, unsigned int N>
struct lar::util::details::FitDataCollector< T, D >::SumExtractor< Power, N >

The "extractor" is just a C++ trick to replace a statement like:

(N == 0)? weight.Weights(): sums.template SumN<N>()

where N is a constexpr number. The problem is that SumN<0> is not valid (in our case, it raises a static assertion). The analysis of the full statement shows that it would not be a problem, since the compiler could remove the ternary operator since it always knows whether N is 0 or not. Matter of fact, the compiler can also choose to be dumb and compile the whole thing, including a SumN<0>.

The trick is in the form of a class that gets specialized for N = 0. A long list of limitations in C++ (up to 2014 at least) forces the implementation in a struct.
