No problem at all! Only, the historical side of your way of casting the 
issue seemed plain *weird* to our old v3 eyes...

Thanks for that info. Allowing myself to spend a little more time on 
(marginally) interesting historical reconstructions, the logs say that 
__enable_if appeared in std_cmath.h in May '03, when Gaby fixed 
libstdc++/3181.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, getting into the details of 
implementing Chapter 8 (in the correct namespace, of course) is up in my 
todo...
