[Boost-users] looped typedefs and/or class definitions

Some of my code includes the following (abbreviated):

  typedef Edge<Node0000Type, Node0000Type> Edge00000000Type;
  typedef Edge<Node0000Type, Node0001Type> Edge00000001Type;
  typedef Edge<Node0000Type, Node0010Type> Edge00000010Type;
  typedef Edge<Node0000Type, Node0011Type> Edge00000011Type;
  //... you can imagine where this is going.

Instead of 32 typedefs, I was wondering if it weren't possible to
use the compiler to achieve the above.

Similarly, let's say I wanted to define a set of empty classes:

  class AB : public A, B {};
  class AC : public A, C {};
  class BC : public B, C {};

can I use the compiler to automate this?

Thanks for any comments.
