I've decided to provide the latter instead. That is, upon inclusion of 
<boost/mp11/mpl.hpp>, both mp_list and std::tuple become MPL sequences and 
can be manipulated with MPL algorithms. This implies the ability to convert 
an arbitrary MPL sequence into an mp_list or std::tuple, via mpl::copy<Seq, 
mpl::back_inserter<mp_list<>>>::type.
