// Usage:
//      
// typedef typename select<
//                      case1,  type1,
//                      case2,  type2,
//                      ...
//                      true_,  typen
//                  >::type selection;
//
// Here case1, case2, ... are models of MPL::IntegralConstant with value type
// bool, and n <= 12.
