One positive thing that could result from this would be the possibility of
specializing the class to determine the type of the index, such as instead
of

nth_index_type<1>::type

to use

index_type<mpl::int_<1> >::type  //rather clumzy, but doesn't clash with
index_type<tag>::type

If you then create some typedefs (possibly with the preprocessor), something
like:

typedef mpl::int_<1> _1;
...
typedef mpl::int_<10> _10;

This might look like:

index_type<_1>::type;
