Interesting.  I could wrap the types in something easy to find and then not worry about compiler differences.

Related question, then: why has mpl::print<> never worked for me on gcc?

    template<typename E>
    void operator()(found_edge<E>) {
      typename mpl::print<E>::type foo; // nothing happens

Is there an alternative?  I just end up hacking my own errors when I have to debug stuff, but that won't work here.

Thanks,
Gordon
