| <p id="label-macros">Being a <em>template</em> metaprogramming framework, the MPL concentrates on |
| getting one thing done well and leaves most of the clearly |
| preprocessor-related tasks to the corresponding specialized |
| libraries <a class="citation-reference" href="#pre" id="id1284">[PRE]</a>, <a class="citation-reference" href="#ve03" id="id1285">[Ve03]</a>. But whether we like it or not, macros play |
| an important role on today's C++ metaprogramming, and some of |
| the useful MPL-level functionality cannot be implemented |
| without leaking its preprocessor-dependent implementation |
| nature into the library's public interface.</p> |
