This patch includes a 'Cml_traits' template that's equivalent to 
Type_equal<Scalar_of<T>::type, float>. If it is going to stay this 
simple, I would prefer not to introduce this 'Cml_traits' for it.

On the other hand, you mentioned in another mail you were going to also 
check for split vs. interleaved there, so it may grow a little. I'm not 
yet convinced that such a generic Cml_traits template is useful, though, 
since availability of some (type, layout) may depend on the actual 
operation.

Other than that, the patch looks good.

Thanks,

		Stefan
