Dave,

Unless I hear otherwise, I'll resolve the technical issues with Proto 
you raised as follows:

1) The aliasing issue (proto::_left as a typedef for 
proto::transform::left) will be resolved by eliminating the "transform" 
namespace and everything in it.

2) The "functional" namespace will be renamed "functor".

3) "visitor" will be renamed "data"

4) I don't intend to rename the "call" transform or the "function" 
tag/metafunction. (If I renamed "call" to "apply" like I suggested, then 
I should also rename "is_callable" to "is_applicable" or some such, 
which is awful, IMO.)

5) You can override an expression's domain with 
"proto::as_expr<Domain>(expr)". This gives a way to mix expressions from 
different domains in the same expression.

If you object to any of these resolutions, holler.
