By the way, Aleksey, what do you think of calling anything applicable via mpl::apply a "metafunctor"?
Being one of these people who frown upon the term "functor" (http://groups.google.com/group/boost-list/msg/d3d7546f3e8b118 8), I'm not in favor of this one, for obvious reasons :).
Between you and me, I am not a fan of that "functor" use either, and would love for it to stay in category theory or at least be exclusive for notions mirroring that semantics, BUT: that is what those non-meta people say :-) ... or "function object," which would translate most conveniently to "meta function class"... /Now a reformed lambda expressionist :-)
