Throwing in my two bits here, I absolutely agree that ultimately the
type_traits header should provide something
allowing this sort of introspection.

I guess not a /strong/ opinion, but I would like to see it just be
part of Boost Type Traits. It feels like something
that we should be able to do in a single library?
