Great, the dependency type_traits->utility dependency is broken then.

typeof is an emulation/workaround of a missing C++98 feature. It seems 
to me natural that this library should be quite close to the Core module.

Anyway, here are the alternatives:
     A- Create a macro-module common_type <=> typeof
     B- Extract common_type from type_trais in an isolated module.
     C- Add typeof to type_traits.

A- Peter?
B-
C- Vicente

What do other think?

Best,
Vicente
