Hi Marco,
I think uBlas' traits system needs some refinement (or should I say extension?) and I would be very happy to see such changes make it in. The layout_type traits you provide are probably the most important ones though. Nevertheless I think that we should offer a complete design rather than a few trait classes here and there, so that a solid interface is achieved. Maybe a good start would be the ublas part of the bindings traits (if those are complete would the authors be interested to merge them into uBlas?).
Having a more complete traits mechanism would allow as to scale well in complex operations and especially in multi-methods and dispatching kind of stuff.
Best
Nasos
