The code lives in the Core module, but the Core module provides
<boost/utility/enable_if.hpp> which just forwards to
<boost/core/enable_if.hpp> so your code should not fail to compile.

No. There's no reason why Core's <boost/utility/enable_if.hpp> cannot
live on, just marked as deprecated, with all documentation referring
to <boost/core/enable_if.hpp>.

Did you run git submodule update --init?
