Utility will go away as soon as we deal with value_init.hpp. Detail -
when detail/endian.hpp is replaced with Predef. Config, PP,
StaticAssert and TypeTraits are left. Not so bad already, almost all
of them are valid dependencies of Core. TypeTraits might further be
replaced with Core.TypeTraits.

So what do you think, is it worth to split MPL?
