Comment (by brunocodutra@…):

 That was indeed just a tricky and dirty workaround to get it going for the
 end user. I've actually forked MPL and committed a cleaner version of it,
 which you may find on github: brunocodutra/MPL, branch Ticket7769.  (I
 can't seem to find a way to post a link here).

 I managed to get rid of COUNT, but I could not find a way to get rid of
 the dependence on BOOST_PP_TUPLE_TO_SEQ without being forced to define a
 new macro, just like you proposed yourself. I was actually concerned about
 defining a new name to avoid breaking some naming convention rule or
 anything of the sort that I might be unaware of. I would certainly be glad
 to hear thoughts on that though.

 By the way, how should I proceed with the pull request? Should it be
 issued to the development branch?

 Regarding testing you are absolutely right, but I must confess I have no
 idea on how to proceed, any advice?
