Good question. I did mention these to the Boost Maint people but I am 
not experienced enough in the use of C++11 'constexpr' to know whether 
or not its use in the MPL in these situations is worthwhile. Perhaps 
others, you or Daniel James or someone in Boost maint would know this. 
Also are David Abrahams or Alexsey Gurtovoy paying attention to MPL 
anymore ?
