[boost] [MPL] is_sequence problem

Hi,

I have a problem with this code snippet:

     #include <boost/mpl/is_sequence.hpp>

     int
     main()
     {
         using boost::mpl::int_;
         using boost::mpl::is_sequence;
         bool b = is_sequence<int_<0> >::value;
     }

VC7.1 complains:

C:\dev\boost\boost\mpl\aux_\begin_end_impl.hpp(35) : error C2039: 
'begin' : is not a member of 'boost::mpl::int_<N>'
         with
         [

         ]

Any hints? I am relying on is_sequence to return false in this case.
Comeau and g++ throws up too.
