May be it would be better to move boost/mpl/bool.hpp,
boost/mpl/bool_fwd.hpp, boost/mpl/integral_c.hpp, mpl/or.hpp,
mpl/identity.hpp, mpl/and.hpp into the Core library? Those classes are
already mostly the part of C++, they are very simple and very widely used.
Such reorganization will remove the dependency to MPL from many libraries.
