<p>There is just one detail of placeholder expressions that we haven't
discussed yet. MPL uses a special rule to make it easier to
integrate ordinary templates into metaprograms: After all of the
placeholders have been replaced with actual
arguments, if the resulting template specialization <em>X</em> doesn't
have a nested <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">::type</span></tt>, the result is just
<em>X</em> itself.</p>
<p>For example, <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">mpl::apply<std::vector<_>,</span> <span class="pre">T></span></tt> is always just
<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">std::vector<T></span></tt>. If it weren't for this behavior, we would
have to build trivial metafunctions to create ordinary template
specializations in lambda expressions:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
// trivial std::vector generator
template<class U>
struct make_vector { typedef std::vector<U> type; };
typedef mpl::apply<<strong>make_vector<_></strong>, T>::type vector_of_t;
</pre>
<p>Instead, we can simply write:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
typedef mpl::apply<<strong>std::vector<_></strong>, T>::type vector_of_t;
</pre>
<!-- @ # ensure indentation works. The ReST parser will push the 2nd line left
while stack:
stack[-1].prepend('#include <vector>\ntypedef int T;')
