Comment (by Tony Lewis <TonyELewis@…>):

 Thanks for the reply.

 Ah sorry - I think I was assuming that you're currently still using
 `boost::mpl::vector` internally but AFAIU, you're saying you use
 `std::tuple`.

 ,,(I'm a bit surprised because I thought the library supported pre-C++11
 so would need to convert everything to a pre-C++11 typelist. Is that
 incorrect?),,

 Anyway, the thing I'm specifically requesting in this ticket is that
 `BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE()` accept arbitrary type lists
 (`boost::mpl::vector`, `std::tuple` or the user's own typelist type).

 I'm not making any requests about how you store the typelist internally
 (though if you don't have to support pre-C++11 and are already using
 `std::tuple`, it's possible you'd enjoy reduced compilation times by
 moving to `template <typename...> your_own_typelist;`).

 So yes: the thing you're proposing is exactly what I'm requesting. Thanks
 very much.
