Frédéric, IMO the best you can do is to remove the files that your extension
doesn't modify and avoid as possible to modify the existing files so you
will don't have any trouble. 

Why don't put all your files in a subdirectory of type_traits, eg. ope or on
boost/type_traits_ope (even if this is temporary)?

Best,
Vicente
