I wish but there is still a substantial amoutn of work on them to make
them work properly on MSVC.
Unfortunately I have neither time nor proper knowledge of MSVC internal
to make it in a reasonable
amount of time. If anyone want to lend a hand, it'll be much
appreciated. When this blockers are removed,

clutter boost with yet another MP namespace.
They may fit nicely into type_traits.
