It's likely to bite our users either way as far as there is a difference in
case between the name of the trait in a header and the headers' file name.
It's at least as likely that users will write #include
"boost/type_traits/is_POD.hpp" when the actual header name is lowercase as
that they will write #include "boost/type_traits/is_pod.hpp" when the actual
header name reflects the case of the trait template it defines (as it is
now).
