Cool !
Actualy I am now working another factory implementation.
In the new implementation, the Base Class will hold a typedef for a Boost Variant, and then the derived objects can be instantiated by the factory by being given a std::map of the variants and stripping out the values to make a call to the constructor of the derived class. The ONLY intrusion on the classes would be a typelist in the Base class to type the appropriate Boost::Variant and a typelist in the derived class identifing the signature of the constructor to be called by the factory, similar to the factory i have posted previously. The MPL really is VERY cool, and I think I have JUST touched the surface !!!. In fact I put my order in for 'C++ Template Metaprogramming: Concepts, Tools, and Techniques from Boost and Beyond' at Amazon this afternoon !!!!

Actually, I've been thinking of doing something similar and I am also
interested in what people say!

PS: Boost does rock
