Very cool. Just for kicks, I ran the testsuite for Boost.MPL, and
we're passing all but 4 tests there. Not bad!
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.
