Some of these elements you mentioned do have generic appeal. static_value and advance_iterator looks general enough. plus, minus etc, have overlaps over other "functional" libraries; fusion seems not to be the right place for it.
Fusion is the right place to get rid of manual type deduction. I strongly believe this.
We're talking about functional objects here, right? Like a plus() object that uses Boost.Typeof to deduce its result type. Then I agree with Joel that Fusion is the wrong place for that. I have a start on such a collection of numeric functional objects here:
I decided for my work that the right place was to make it a sub-library of boost/numeric and put it in boost/numeric/functional.hpp. I am hoping to one day have the time to flesh this out and submit it to Boost.
A + B isnt a numeric... regards Andy Little
