Hi,

glad to see you are exploring the different alternatives. This is really 
a good starting point.

See attached my draft (not tested) of expected which is based on 
Alexandrescu class but adapted to boost notation and making it portable 
to c++98 compilers. In addition I added some additional helper functions.

Now it is time to make a concrete proposal for you candidature.

Best,
Vicente
