I don't know if you know the Concept Traits library (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/LibrariesUnderConstruction#Boost.Conce...). This library defines operators traits for all the C++ operators.
I don't know how your proposal is better then this library (aside this library is abandoned).
Looks very similar but much more comprehensive! However the return type is not checked. Did you say this library is abandoned? What does this mean?
The authors decided to not continue the development because at the time Concepts should be part of C++0x. AS now Concepts do not belong to C++0x, I have requested the resurrection of this library but no one was volunter.
I fair if I have to reimplement all what's in concept-traits library, it will be too much for me alone.
There is two part of the library that match yours (Operator Traits). http://neoscientists.org/~tschwinger/boostdev/concept_traits/libs/concept_tr... raits_ext http://neoscientists.org/~tschwinger/boostdev/concept_traits/libs/concept_tr... atorTraits
The others corresponds to the definition of Concepts for STL. You can let this for others, but IMO it will be a shame to lose the work done in this library for Operator Traits.
