4175	[Proto] possible loss of expression wrappers in pass-through transforms	Robert Valkenburg <rj.valkenburg@…>	Eric Niebler	"
extended expressions seem to be getting unwrapped in proto pass through transforms.

Others have not observed this effect so it may be a compiler/platform issue (or programmer of course)

I've attached a smallish (~160 lines) file that only depends on
""boost/proto/proto.hpp""


The results are as follows  (gcc 4.4.1 linux FC 11, x86_64 platform)

The clifford::ga_expr<> got removed so it was unable to find evaluate_expr()
