I like this idea. But proposed interface look like a waste since all of the
argument are know at compile time.

I would rather preper:

std::list<int> primes(
        make_init_iterator<int, mpl::ct_list<2,3,5,7,11> >(), 
        make_init_iterator<int>());

For exact syntax consult MPL list specification.
