So their primary function is to make template error messages more readable, by giving tools to the programmer to be more specific when defining template types?

I really need to see a comparison with examples that shows that it's interesting to use, if I remember template metaprogramming was not an intended use, so are concepts redirecting the language to saner places ?

It seems like it could be beneficial for certain specific software like math software (maybe AI or language software ?), but other than that I feel very unable to grasp concepts. Maybe a CS teacher could explain it better to me. Again, can't wait for Effective C++ to cover those, but a slight introduction would not hurt :)
