I recall some discussion of there being an mpl::string template..... Can't see it in the mpl library. Is it elsewhere?

It has been added to trunk as of revision 52208:

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/52208

No doubt the regression tests will reveal portability problems. Once they have been worked out, we can move this to release.

Why is this better than a metafunction c_str< Sequence >? typedef mpl::vector_c str; template < char const* sz > struct x {}; x< c_str<str>::value > test; Is there some reason that's not possible or is prone to problems avoided by mpl::string?
