Being a *template* 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 [PRE]_, [Ve03]_. 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.
