A step by step explanation of how it works and feature organisation 
is in the slides at

/A-review-of-Cxx-11-14-only-Boost-libraries-Fiber-AFIO-DI-and-APIBind.

What remains lacking is a step by step tutorial, but it's hardly 
difficult. I noticed at C++ Now I didn't find anyone didn't fully 
understand what was going on and how it worked, indeed Beman 
mentioned the same technique had been in use in C++ 11 standard 
library implementations for many years now.
