We're not focusing on expression templates for now, but the plan is to 
roll our own set of types instead of using Proto's, and just make them 
Proto-compatible (minus the proto_grammar typedef).

The two things that affect compilation speed the most are the amount of 
templates instantiated and the symbol length.
