Let me clarify, if that is too terse. I am *not* against using a TMP
library. It's just that my preference now is for simpler libraries; as
simple as possible, but still providing most (95+%) of the functionalities.
That's what we are aiming for with X3. Less is more, simpler is better.
Most of TMP usage can be distilled in a single header file (again
referring to Eric's and Peter's works). If I can do the same with
X3, that would be super!
