Detect derivation from e.g. addable

Is there a way to detect that a class has been derived from 
boost::addable<T>, for example?  I would like to be able to
write something like this:

template <typename T>
void foo() {
    //if T derived from boost::addable<T,...>
    // . . .
}

The problem, of course, is the base class chaining feature.
I do not see how to use  boost::is_base_and_derived  in this case.
