I considered this, but it's inconvenient; it makes simple tasks more
difficult. Plus, Alexey's new expression template technique hides the
quoting.

Fortunately 'v' and 'q' are never applied together, since quoted
metafunctions always take types as arguments. The 'v' variants are only
provided for convenience.
