However, if I understand the idea correctly, you might not be able to offer
a c++03 support anymore.
If Boost.Serialization depends on Boost.Optional and Boost.Optional depends
on Boost.TypeTraits,
and Boost.TypeTraits decide tos remove the code for C++03 compatibility,
then Boost.Serialization
loses C++03 compatibility also.
