Once your happy with them go agead and commit the changes.  However I think 
we probably should hold off until we get VC6/7 testing back on HEAD - it's 
not uncommon for changes to type_traits to pass all the type traits tests, 
only for something seemingly harmless to fail only when it's instantiated 
deep inside some very-specific instantiation tree :-(

We should only be a few days away from a 1.33.1 release now anyway....?
