The two things that struck me most when I read that last year:
 
 - How eminently ill-suited C++ is for this stuff (the book 
develops a framework in C++)

 - a very convincing argument that if you derive C from A and B 
(whose metaclasses are not the same), the system must 
derive a metaclass for C, using MI from A and B's 
metaclasses.
