I've been long time user of MPL. Now I'm getting to know C++11. From
reading this list - in particular Peter Dimov's "Simple C++ TMP" I'm
coming to believe that this is the simplest low overhead approach for
me. Peter's document is another masterpiece. I would like to see it
reformated in a way which is easier to use as a reference - sort of a
C++11+ TMP "cheatsheet". I'm actually considering do this as a personal
exercise in order to really understand and internalize it.
