OK, so it's maybe me. I used a lot of type_traits and
MPL meta-function as generator for static boolean that serves as templae
overload selector like :

template<class T, class EnableIf =
is_integral<T>::type> struct foo;
template<class T>
struct foo<T,false_type> {};

and I found that having to
manage both true_/false_ and true_type/false_type in various overload a
bit hard, especially if a tempalte has two set of EnableIf,one using
traits one using MPL. Is going with usign the ::value a better idea, (aka
making EnableIf a bool parameter ?)

Thanks anyway for your
welcomed insight
