Have you looked at the new introduction which is linked through http://www.boost-consulting.com/boost/libs/preprocessor?
Excellent! I knew it was available but hadn't looked at it yet. I hope it -- or something similar -- will be incorporated into the PP docs.
The link is incorporated. What more do you want to see?
Ideally, I'd like to see the contents of Appendix A reproduced, mutatis mutandis, as the Introduction to the Preprocessor Library.
Why?
I realize this may not be possible; in that case, I'd like a similar overview incorporated directly into the docs.
It's probably possible, but I'm not sure it's a good idea. I'd have to keep yet another location up-to-date.
For example, I think it would be a bit odd if the introduction to Boost.Regex
http://www.boost.org/libs/regex/doc/introduction.html
just consisted of a link to an external article about regular expressions.
?? It's not analogous at all. The article isn't just about PP metaprogramming in general. It's a focused intro to the PP lib. Just what you'd want as an intro, no?
I'm not criticizing the content at all.
