Apart from index_list, there is an alternative
construct called mpl_index_list such that,
for example:

mpl_index_list<mpl::vector<K1,...,Kn> >

is equivalent to

index_list<K1,...,Kn>

mpl_index_list is provided as a convenience for
MPL metaprograms synthezising instantiations of
indexed_set. "mpl_indexed_by" is a possible renaming
for "mpl_index_list" should we decide to rename
"index_list" as "indexed_by". Suggestions for
better names?
