Suppose everything in B of my original code is from a library called
B. Other codes are for the use of library B.

Do you mean that all multiply_traits shall be defined in a namespace
such as B::detail?

When new classes X1, X2, ... are defined, I need to define the
corresponding multiply_traits in B::detail. If the library B (with
namespace B) is designed such that nothing is defined in namespace
B::detail, then the users can define whatever they want in B::detail,
as there would be no conflicting between their code and the library
code, right?

Thanks,
