BOOST_HANA_NAMESPACE_BEGIN
    //! Returns the first element of a non-empty iterable.
    //! @ingroup group-Iterable
    //!
    //! Given a non-empty Iterable `xs` with a linearization of `[x1, ..., xN]`,
    //! `front(xs)` is equal to `x1`. If `xs` is empty, it is an error to
    //! use this function. Equivalently, `front(xs)` must be equivalent to
    //! `at_c<0>(xs)`, and that regardless of the value category of `xs`
    //! (`front` must respect the reference semantics of `at`).
    //!
    //!
    //! Example
    //! -------
    //! @include example/front.cpp
