> I'm working on a small library that performs compile-time, inline dereferencing that may prove useful for writing more generic algorithms. For example, a function that searches a sequence of iterators for an integer could be designed that would treat an int***[] just as if it were an int[] array. Is this something that might belong in the Boost framework?

There has been at least a recent proposal along the same line by

I can't say for sure, but looks like you are dealing with the same issue.
You might want to compare your solution with his, or maybe join forces :)
