I'd be interested in seeing some support for static metaprogramming in
boost. For example, in the iterator_adaptor code that's under
development (there's a copy in the vault) I use the IF<> (renamed
ct_if, ct=compile-time). Also, I use IF<> heavily in the GGCL and MTL
libraries.
Also, the GenVoca style of component composition advocated in C&E is
similar to some of the techniques we are already use in boost,
e.g. operators.hpp.
