| <p>With the foundation laid so far, we're ready to explore one of the |
| most basic uses for template metaprogramming techniques: adding |
| static type checking to traditionally unchecked operations. We'll |
| look at a practical example from science and engineering that can |
| find applications in almost any numerical code. |
| Along the way you'll learn some important new concepts and |
| get a taste of metaprogramming at a high level using the MPL.</p> |
