Now, what to call the traveral/algorithm/action/on thingy. None of those
feel right. Maybe if I describe in words what it does, someone can come
up with a good name. Given a Proto grammar that has been built with
named rules, and a set of actions that can be indexed with those rules,
it creates a Proto algorithm. The traversal is fixed, the actions can
float. It's called<insert good name here>.
Actor
std::cout<< actor<char_terminal, my_actions>()(a)<< "\n"; //
printing char
:-)
Like "visitor", "actor" comes with lots of baggage that we don't want:

Besides, as these things define algorithms, a name that's a verb would
be better (std::transform, std::accumulate, etc. are verbs).
That's a totally different synonym. The actor that I meant is
connected to the meaning of "semantic action" and you are using
action/actions anyway (as well as grammars and rules). It's the
same domain.
How about "evaluate":
proto::evaluate<char_terminal, my_actions>()(a);
Hmmm... :P
