Very quickfire notes after scanning the repository:

 - “not supporting strings” is probably a restriction that extends to more types? What are the type restrictions?
 - “communication within the same binary” presumably means “intra-process”. If not what does “binary” refer to?
 - ANSI C++ presumably means ISO C++. Ironically, a lot of the code smells like ANSI C alright (static void hnd taking void* for example…). 
 - the example skirts state machines. what is the relation of this bus design to state machines? How does it differentiate from Boost SMS and Boost SML? Why would one use Boost Independency over those?

Seth
