[...] Can anybody explain in English what the following does?

I believe that Aleksey posted the runtime pseudo-equivalent.

Have I mentioned recently how totally cool MPL's lambda facility is? I can't believe I can do things like this, even with MSVC6. It makes my metaprograms SO much easier to manage! mpl::logical_and< is_reference_to_classmpl::_ > , mpl::logical_not< is_reference_to_argsmpl::_ >

[Aleksey, on 9/27] // "ideal" version, for comparison purposes: // is_reference_to_class( add_reference(_) ) // && !is_reference_to_args( add_reference(_) ) I can't say for sure what the code does myself, but if I could venture a guess, I would say that it's a condition for something else (maybe an iterative algorithm over a type container?) that checks to see if an argument is a reference type of various sorts. Basically, if you don't understand it, in this case, you probably don't need it. ;) I know I don't! Dave
