Very cool. Just for kicks, I ran the testsuite for Boost.MPL, and we're passing all but 4 tests there. Not bad!<br>
<br>
To tackle Boost, it's worth starting with the regression tests for the lowest-level libraries and working upward. We're not going to get it all in one shot, and it's best to grow the set of libraries that works over time.<br>
