[boost] [type traits] is_convertible issue

Hi,

Mike, a Boost.Python user, ran into a problem that amounts to this:

  #include <boost/type_traits/is_convertible.hpp>
  struct S { 
     virtual void f()=0; 
  };

  boost::is_convertible<S&,S> error;
  
Shouldn't is_convertible handle cases like this by stripping
references before testing?
