Yes.

It appears to be robust. I'm not sure about the design decision  mp_ prefix
for everything.

>  What is your evaluation of the implementation?

I haven't looked at it in detail.

> 4. What is your evaluation of the documentation?

Good. Very good.

>  5. What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library?

Quite high; should replace a lot of current boost MPL usage.

> 6. Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have  any
problems?

Only cursorily. With g++ 7.1 and clang++ 4.0.
Did not encounter any problems.

> 8. Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?

Somewhat. To the extent that I've used boost MPL quite a lot.
