type_traits is in the process of being more-or-less totally re-evaluated.
All type-based queries will be cv-insensitive.  Also, we're reviewing the
categories provided; some categories like is_standard_* and is_extension_*
will probably be deprecated.  None of these changes have been reflected back
into Boost yet.
