This should not be under appreciated! I've been working for a 
boost-bigoted company for the last 5 years and generally limited to 
C++11 until this month. Having access to Peter's minimal-dependency 
header-only libraries of late have been a boon to my efforts to 
modernize our code base. While developers here bristle at bringing in 
all of boost, there have been no complaints on bringing in mp11, or even 
the non-boost asio distribution.
