I don't understand. Implementing a C++ DSEL means implementing a
compiler as a C++ meta-program, since it's a domain-specific language
embedded in the C++ language.

Did you mean it without the E, i.e. a domain-specific language with a
normal compiler infrastructure?
We're doing that too, re-using the same technology.
