That's awesome!!!  I started doing something like that, but will now
stop wasting my time.

That's not awesome. :(  However, even if only the type_traits stuff works
with bcc, I will be happy (for now).  Are there fundamental problems that
prevent MPL from working with bcc, or did you just not want to bother
with trying to make it work?  I have a feeling it can be made to work, but
might just take a lot of effort.
