This sounds great to me.  I am very curious to see what work you have
done.  I'm not familiar with the languages you have mentioned, but I
understand that the STL was designed based upon previous work done in
scheme.  Carrying these ideas over to template metaprogramming is very
fitting.

your foldr sounds a lot like std::accumulate in the STL world, but
applied to template metaprograms.
