I would like to add my opinion about the mp_ prefix. Many do not like it, but I actually believe it is very nice to have a name that stands out.

I like it too but let me propose an alternative sure to displease everyone:

It displeases me and I usually like options. I think such a complication is unnecessary.

In addition to mp11::mp_*, the library can provide a set of alternate aliases in the namespace mp11::alternatives::. For example mp11::alternatives::transform, or mp11::alternatives::if_

People who feel strongly about names similar to MPL or who despise the mp_ prefix can simply lift this alternate set of names into the namespace of their choosing. For example:

namespace mp = mp11::alternatives;

Lets you use mp::transform, mp::if_

Thanks
