[boost] mpl::inherit_linearly reuse to produce loki's tuple?

Could inherit_linearly be used to create something like loki's tuple? The name, inherit_linearly, and a very brief look at the code suggests it does something like loki's GenScatterHeirarchy, which was used to create the loki tuples as shown in: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/loki-lib/loki/Reference/HierarchyGenerators.h?rev=1.5&view=auto If so, then I was wondering if it would be worth it to reuse inherit_linearly to implement boost's tuple?
