Say I'm rewriting an existing Boost library and targeting C++11 users. I plan to ship C++03 and C++11 versions of my library side-by-side, so back-compat isn't an issue for the new code. Is there a reason to prefer using Boost's versions of utilities like enable_if, type traits, integral constant wrappers (e.g. mpl::int_), tuples, etc., over the now-standard ones?

I'm leaning toward using std:: where I can, and falling back on Boost's versions only when there is a compelling reason.

Some C++11-capable compilers do not ship with C++11-enabled standard libraries.
