Feedback is most welcome.
proto/libs/xpressive/proto/doc/html/boost_proto/user_s_guide/calculator.html contains: The expr<> template makes up the nodes in expression trees. The first template parameter is the node type; in this case, proto::tag::terminal. That means that _1 is a leaf-node in the expression tree. The second template parameter is a list of children types. Terminals will always have only one type in the type list. The last parameter is the number of types in the list. It is deduced from the type list, so you won't need to worry about it. which suggests a leaf-node can have children. I thought leaf-nodes had no children. What am I missing? OOPS. Maybe a leaf-node, as you're defining it can have no other proto-expressions as children but it can have other types of children. Is that right?
