The library enables traversals, and local modifications of complex data structures, without the need to implement large amounts of repetitive traversal code. The library is in a very early state, but has a pretty large introduction and quick start guide, which (hopefully) will help get people started with the library. Formal documentation is unfortunately non-existent at this point.

Sorry, hit wrong button.  Continuing:

Although I could guess what BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT does, it would
help to provide the reference:

http://spirit.sourceforge.net/dl_more/fusion_v2/libs/fusion/doc/html/fusion/extension/macros/adapt_struct.html

I couldn't find any doc on my local copy of fusion, and the boost.org
docs:

http://www.boost.org/libs/libraries.htm

had nothing; so, I had to search the mailing list for some location
before I found adapt_struct.html.
