Because, in theory, mpl::and_ should be just as efficient.

Watch out.  My tool includes non templates in the instantiation
count.  The total number of instantiations reported depends on
the #includes.  To get a good comparison, you need to subtract
off the number of instantiations caused by just the #includes.
(You could look at the call graph, but it's unreliable still).

This doesn't work because __TIMIING_RULE__ affect bjam level targets,
but seq_while-time is the name of a Boost.Build main target.

Try:

obj and_seq_while.o : and_seq_while.cpp ;
time and_seq_while.time : and_seq_while.o ;
