 From a first look at it, this looks quite awesome. What I do however 
wonder is, where does it fit in with MPL, Fusion and especially Hana? If 
you could give an overview of where your library is compared to those, 
you probably increase the support for your library.

If there is a place besides the other libraries, I think it would fit in 
quite nicely.

On a less important note: I'm not sure about the name, I immediately 
thought of bare-metal C++ when I heard that. But that might just be me.
