The authors decided to not continue the development because at the time
Concepts should be part of C++0x. AS now Concepts do not belong to C++0x, I
have requested the resurrection of this library but no one was volunter.

There is two part of the library that match yours (Operator Traits). 
http://neoscientists.org/~tschwinger/boostdev/concept_traits/libs/concept_traits/doc/#type_traits_ext
http://neoscientists.org/~tschwinger/boostdev/concept_traits/libs/concept_traits/doc/#OperatorTraits

The others corresponds to the definition of Concepts for STL. You can let
this for others, but IMO it will be a shame to lose the work done in this
library for Operator Traits.

Best,
Vicente
