I mean the prefix for the tokens.

Oops! Well it is documented in Chaos. I guess its more of an implementation
detail in Boost.PP. Of course, its not at all obvious what it does from
looking at the code(even though it is quite nicely formatted).

There may be use cases for this. However, it would be nice just to map it
directly to a sequence without the v-type. So you could have a mpping to a
v-sequence which has the v-types(perhaps the tuple (type,value) pairs), but
in
addition have a mapping to pp sequence which will just have the value. I can
see how there are uses for both of these.
