Actually, I think that "quoted metafunction" is almost okay; I don't think
it's a better fit, though, because it's sounds a little bit foreign to C++
world, especially comparing to the competitor ;).

But anyway, I think I've already been stubborn enough to prove that a few
people would _really_ like to see the terminology changed :), so, I am
interested to see how many people on this list prefer one term ("quoted
metafunction") to another ("metafunction-class"). If "metafunction-class" is
going to be voted down, so be it.

Votes, anyone?
