If I understand you correctly, you would like to see the instantiated
template specializations.

This is a feature that I think would be extremely useful.  However, I
don't think you're going to see any compilers implementing it any time
soon.  If I thought I could hack gcc, I'd try it myself; but that's more
work than I have the time for.

The best way to learn the MPL is to read the Wiki, the paper, and
then ask questions here.  Aleksey is pretty good about helping out.
