I like it too but let me propose an alternative sure to displease everyone:

In addition to mp11::mp_*, the library can provide a set of alternate
aliases in the namespace mp11::alternatives::. For example
mp11::alternatives::transform, or mp11::alternatives::if_

People who feel strongly about names similar to MPL or who despise the
mp_ prefix can simply lift this alternate set of names into the
namespace of their choosing. For example:

namespace mp = mp11::alternatives;

Lets you use mp::transform, mp::if_

Thanks
