All, 

looking at extending the bindings traits system to support decorated types 
and matrix/vector reinterpretations, I was wondering whether it would be an 
idea to move the free traits functions to a more generic header, like 
traits.hpp.

For example, interpreting a vector as a matrix could be done by extending 
the matrix_num_rows to use the is_bindable_matrix/vector metafunctions to 
select which traits-backend to use.

In addition, decorated types like "trans(x)" may be dispatched correctly at 
the free-function level as well, when more metafunctions (e.g., 
is_decorated) become available.

Thoughts?

Cheers, 

Rutger
