Do you think online code generation is useless in general?

We support user defined types, but there are limitations in this area.
We're working on removing the limitations.

Right.  In doing this I found an error in what I reported about the sizes of
the executables.  I said that the Boost 1.35 version on Linux was about
~22,000 bytes and the EE version ~8,200 bytes.  I had an include of
an .ipp file in the boost version that wasn't needed.   (It was needed on
Windows.)  When I removed that the Boost version was ~16,800 bytes.  
The run time numbers didn't change after removing the include.   
Sorry about  the incorrect report.

The Boost version of the test is here
