I have to (dis)agree. While making the MPL introductory example -- and that's what we're on about, isn't it? -- trivial may avoid overwhelming someone just looking into MPL, you also need to make it sufficiently interesting for the calibre of person one who feels ready to step above "ordinary" C++ and venture into the realm of MPL. Those forces make selection of a single example quite difficult. It may be best to start with a simple example that does little so that you can conver the basic points of MPL usage and then quickly advance to a more detailed example that reveals many of the intracacies of MPL and thus requires detailed exposition to explain. -- Rob Stewart [EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer; _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
