libs/python/src/object/inheritance.cpp

includes boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp

which after a few levels of indirection winds up including

boost/detail/numeric_traits.hpp

which eventually

includes boost/type_traits.hpp

Making this more fine-grained seems like a real project to me, mainly because
there are too many people to talk to.
