It's alright, thanks. :)

I agree. 'set' seems alright to me too. It's add and insert that I
have problems with. :)

I'm sharing the Google document with you, Joel De Guzman, and Marco Costalba.

I like the implementation you've come up with using just Boost.PP
instead of relying on Boost.Tuple -- this makes it easier to
pre-process and output as a preprocessed header, perfect for easy
trasport in different situations when only Boost.Function and not
Boost.PP is available.

I'm writing the introductory documentation, and I'd love to help out
with filling out the design and concepts area of the document.

Please let me know if anybody else wants a link to the document so
that I can share it with you as well.
