[boost] extending type_traits::rank ?

I need an equivalent of type_traits::rank for a vector-matrix library I 
am working on so I thought about extending type_traits::rank for my own 
vector- and matrix-types. But is extending type_traits foreseen or even 
possible? And what is the best way to go about?

The easiest way of course is to add a specialization for 
boost::type_traits::rank in my project's sources but this is not a very 
clean solution because this would require that I add stuff to the 
boost-namespace in my own project. Ideas?

Thanks in advance,
