Hi,
I was just wondering about the origin of the `mpl::quote` metafunction class. Why was this name chosen?
I don't know for certain, but I always assumed it was a nod in the direction of the list quote operator, which leaves its argument unevaluated and lets you pass it around and evaluate it later. Which is kinda what mpl::quote does, if you squint hard enough. But I could be mistaken. -- Eric Niebler Boost.org http://www.boost.org
