What I'm thinking of doing is adding "what we have so far" links to the 
beginning of the sections (similar to the "copy-paste friendly version" 
links) that point to pages containing only the code (so it is easy to 
copy them).

Note that everything you can copy to Metashell, you can copy to a 
"regular" source file as well. The only difference is that it is your 
job to display the type then.

So if I'm getting it right, your benchmarks are re-generated after every 
push to GitHub? Very nice :)

CMake build system: the Metaparse repository uses Boost's Jamfiles (no 
CMake).
