   I was hoping you had one already.   
      
   Actually I'm just taking a wild guess that since since the original   
   purpose of templates was nothing to do with meta programming and that   
   (some) template meta programs look ugly and esoteric, a purpose built   
   "meta language" could do the job much more simply.  Maybe I'm just   
   biased towards state driven procedural programming.
