Not much.  Good Idea.

typedef mpl::vector_c<char,'H','e','l','p'> help_t;

To pull the string out, I believe that you can do this.

std::vector<std::string> help;
boost::mpl::for_each<help_t>(
          boost::bind(&std::vector<std::string>::push_back, &help, _1));

>> Why would one bother to do this.

Good question.  Maybe just because they say that you cant.
