I am working on the new revision of the library that fixes a couple of bugs and takes into account most of the review comments, but currently the above archive is the latest public release.

Thanks for the report, fixed in local sources.

'mpl::push_back' is there, it's just that currently there is no container that implements it ;). It's gonna be fixed in the release version.

As for 'for_each' - if you mean 'for_each' function template (http://www.mywikinet.com/mpl/paper/html/codegeneration.html), it's present as well - see "boost/mpl/for_each.hpp".

You can wait until I get to it, or you are welcome to contribute :).

Definitely.

Yep, will be fixed in the release version.

Working on it.

The same here :).

Hmm, 'mpl::integral_c<std::size_t,n>' is indeed a little bit too verbose; I'll consider adding 'mpl::size_t_c<>' (mpl::size_t<>?).

Thanks for your feedback!
