  16. <p id="label-macros">Being a <em>template</em> metaprogramming framework, the MPL concentrates on
  17. getting one thing done well and leaves most of the clearly
  18. preprocessor-related tasks to the corresponding specialized
  19. libraries <a class="citation-reference" href="#pre" id="id1284">[PRE]</a>, <a class="citation-reference" href="#ve03" id="id1285">[Ve03]</a>. But whether we like it or not, macros play
  20. an important role on today's C++ metaprogramming, and some of
  21. the useful MPL-level functionality cannot be implemented
  22. without leaking its preprocessor-dependent implementation
  23. nature into the library's public interface.</p>
