Sure. I think that this is a good idea.

I might also point at my side project Origin
(http://code.google.com/p/origin/), which has a similar goal. I'm
basically incorporating concept checking classes and traits classes
into a uniform system with the intent of actually using them in other
libraries :) Of course this work is still in progress; I'm actually
working on them in a slightly different context. But the idea is the
same.
