Excellent article Peter! It builds nicely from one concept to the next.

Within Spirit X3 we have been discussing lightweight metaprogramming in 
the world of C++14. You have articulated very well what we are beginning 
to discover - "I posit that such higher order metaprogramming is, in the 
majority of cases, not necessary in C++11."  This thought intrigues me 
and I'm excited to see how far we can take it in libraries such as 
Spirit X3 and boostache.

Thank you for taking the time to put the article together and share it 
with the community.

Take care -
michael
