Re: [boost] Road to low-quality-code is paved with good intentions of dropping dependencies

In order to do that, we need to somehow unify the following unrelated types:

std::integral_constant boost::integral_constant boost::mpl::integral_c

Otherwise, it'll break the world, as most usages of type traits are either via tag dispatching or enable_if.

I've already suggested a way to do that. Namely, integral constant types of type T and value v need to acquire a converting constructor from anything of type U for which U::value == v.
