Doenst boost have a no-sfinae-support defined when the compiler doesnt
support it? That could guard the type_traits header too.
Then the type_traits would be needed only if the compiler has support
for SFINAE. Which is ok in this case, isnt?

That really is something to think about... Now I'm not so sure anymore.
