My personal opinion is that 1 should be given priority, followed by 2 and, at a distance, 3. It is a submission for Boost we're dealing here with. In that light, mp_ sounds like noise to me (also for 3, but this is not a subject for this review).
The main problem is that some names would collide with C++ keywords. A quick scan of the documentation reveal these possible conflicts: bool, true, false, int, if, and void. I am wondering if there is an alternative solution to the mp_ prefix and the MPL-style _ suffix. For instance, type-traits have faced the same problem and selected synonyms, e.g. std::conditional instead of if, or longer names, e.g. true_type and false_type. Would that be a feasible approach?
