Page:

http://spirit.sourceforge.net/dl_docs/traversal/html/traversal/quick_start_guide.html

contains a section titled:

Type Unification

however, it appears like what it describes is more like the stl's 
accumulate or mpl's fold.  Could you explain the reason for the
title and why a title using accumulate or fold wouldn't be
more intuitive to readers?
