Comment(by agurtovoy):

 I guess I don't fully understand the motivation for this one. MPL pair is
 mostly an auxiliary structure of secondary importance; the only place is
 the library that dictates usage of the MPL pair protocol is mpl::map.
 Other than that, using MPL to manipulate STL pairs and/or Fusion pairs
 should not be any harder than using it to manipulate MPL pairs.

 Could you elaborate on the specific use case that triggered this patch?
