I enjoyed your talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abdeAew3gmQ). Quite 
inspirational.

One thing that immediately came to mind was that you can avoid using macros 
for the type registration by putting all the types into an mp_list and then 
use mp_at/mp_find to go from index to type and vice versa.

Flat/precise strikes me as odd though. Do we have to have both? Precise 
seems to be what I'd always want.
