Joel, I'd be curious to see this phoenix-lite experiment. In particular, I'd
be curious to give a shot at it with Hana when I get some time. It might be 
one of those examples that really do not benefit from a TMP library, but so 
far the code always shrinks in size when you use Hana instead of something
else (or nothing). If you're using std::tuple, the compile-times should also
go down by at least a bit.
