That's a legitimate concern. How important do you consider these use cases?
I personally avoid mpl::lambda, so this won't affect me. I wouldn't worry about mpl::quote. In any event, it's easy to write a wrapper metafunction. It may cause surprises that lambda doesn't work (especially because it will be silent), but as you mentioned above direct use of expr should be uncommon. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
