Hi Abel,

I prefer Sprout.Weed as a compile-time syntax analysis library.
https://github.com/bolero-MURAKAMI/Sprout/tree/master/sprout/weed

Sprout.Weed support Boost.Spirit.Qi like syntax.
Genya Murakami is an author, seems to be willing to propose to Boost.

If you think about this library?

Thanks,
Akira
