Type traits has been broken since at least Thu Oct 24 08:12:18 PDT
2002 as shown by http://cci.lbl.gov/boost/

At the moment, the errors above are not showing up, but different ones
are:

    g++ -ftemplate-depth-100 -g -I. -I/usr/include/python2.2 -DUSE_DL_IMPORT -DBOOST_PYTHON_SOURCE -Ilibs/python/build/bin/gcc/debug/shared-true/main-target-boost_python  -c -o libs/python/build/bin/gcc/debug/shared-true/main-target-boost_python/pickle_support.o  libs/python/src/object/pickle_support.cpp  

boost/python/detail/indirect_traits.hpp: In instantiation of `boost::is_reference<boost::python::tuple ()(boost::python::api::object)>':
boost/python/detail/indirect_traits.hpp:87:   instantiated from `boost::detail::is_function_impl<boost::python::tuple ()(boost::python::api::object)>'
boost/python/detail/indirect_traits.hpp:87:   instantiated from `boost::is_function<boost::python::tuple ()(boost::python::api::object)>'
boost/python/detail/indirect_traits.hpp:87:   instantiated from `boost::python::detail::is_pointer_to_function<boost::python::tuple (*)(boost::python::api::object)>'
boost/python/converter/arg_to_python.hpp:95:   instantiated from `boost::python::converter::detail::select_arg_to_python<boost::python::tuple (*)(boost::python::api::object)>'
boost/python/object_core.hpp:279:   instantiated from `boost::python::converter::arg_to_python<boost::python::tuple (*)(boost::python::api::object)>'
boost/python/object_core.hpp:279:   instantiated from `static PyObject* boost::python::api::object_initializer<is_proxy, is_object_manager>::get(const T*, int*) [with T = boost::python::tuple (*)(boost::python::api::object), bool is_proxy = false, bool is_object_manager = false]'
boost/python/object_core.hpp:222:   instantiated from `boost::python::api::object::object(const T&) [with T = boost::python::tuple (*)(boost::python::api::object)]'
libs/python/src/object/pickle_support.cpp:59:   instantiated from here
boost/python/detail/indirect_traits.hpp:87: `value' is not a member of type `
   boost::is_reference<boost::python::tuple ()(boost::python::api::object)>'

This appears to indicate that is_reference isn't working with function
types.
