At first I thought "great, another metaprogramming library I won't understand."

But then I read this:
http://pdimov.com/cpp2/simple_cxx11_metaprogramming.html

Beautiful article, thank you so much for putting it together. It was
easy to read, starting with a simple appealing example and then
building on it stepwise to accomplish progressively larger and more
impressive tasks. Tricks are explained plainly, I've already learned a
technique or two. I especially like the tenfold optimization on
instantiations.

It certainly looks useful for Boost, and I appreciate that it is C++11
which means I can use it.
