Ugh, these valid concerns about compile time and space are ... valid.
Yes, it'll get better over time, Joel's right, but there are things that
can be done today. Proto and Fusion can be preprocessed like MPL. Proto
can use variadic templates and rvalue references where available to
bring down the number of overloads. Things /can/ be better today. If
only there were more time.

Or some volunteers?
