Probably :-)

Anyone else have a need for this?

type_traits uses integral_constant<bool,val> for true/false results which in 
turn inherits from mpl::bool_<val> so the two should be completely 
compatible with each other.  Note that integral_constant is part of the TR1 
and the next std, where as MPL is not, so type_traits won't be changing in 
this respect.
