I think that similarly to Boost.MPL.Core such fundamental type traits
could comprise Boost.TypeTraits.Core. Pulling them to Boost.Core seems
as bad as pulling Boost.MPL.Core.

Actually, it's starting to look like Boost.Core is begging for
submodules already: Boost.Core.MPL, Boost.Core.TypeTraits. I suspect
at some point we'll be discussing Boost.Core.Preprocessor, too. :)
