That confuses me. The paper seems to be talking about modifying the
C++ language. The title of the project, however, is "Modular C++ preprocessor",
which is

* talking about a C++ preprocessor, not a C++ parser.
* seems to imply that it's the preprocessor that is modular, not the thing
   it (pre)processes. (And, how does it related to boost.wave ?)

So what's the deal ?
