Oh well, I guess you convinced me to at least postpone it. I'll branch off from what I've got so far and strip every C++03 out of it.
I feel obliged to encourage you to not do that. People may maintain that C++03 compatibility doesn't matter, but it still does, to a surprising extent. There is considerable value in MPL2 being a drop-in replacement for MPL1. One might even argue that this is the whole point of it.
I want to echo this. A lot of the testing across the range of compilers is still C++03. John
