That's a lot of noise and the syntax is non-obvious for the purpose at hand. I suspect unwarranted compilation overhead, too. Something simpler seems in order:
#include <boost/something/literal.hpp> ... using boost::something::literal;
int a; std::cin >> literal("a=") >> a;
Do we need any (new) syntax at all? What if we just make RValues always do that where reasonable? Then we can spell it add_const if actually needed...
In fact, can someone come up with a good use case for needing more than just character and string literals? I feel like anything more than that might be better left to spirit/regex/whatever.
You can't overload operator>> for a built in type and a std::istream. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
