Have I missed anything in terms of other later libraries superceding the functionality that was in this one ? Are the techniques used in this library flawed in any way ? I would love to see this library as part of Boost, if just for the operator metafunctions, and have told Terje Slettebø so.
C++0x has more or less "native" support to do these things better, so I suppose that might have influenced the decision to not continue the work on that library.
Just the operator metafunctions in the CTL are useful even without the attempts to add concepts in the form of metafuncions. I do not think C++0x, which is still a year or more away, has any "native" support which would allow me to determine whether a type has an operator. There are also useful metafunctions in the CTL which extend type_traits in type_traits_ext unless these exist somewhere else in Boost I do not know about.
