Difference between is_same and mpl::same_as in boost

I cannot seem to see the difference between boost::is_same and boost::mpl::same_as. Could someone perhaps point these out and where only the specific variant can be used.

Effectively, nothing. If you actually look at the source of mpl::same_as, it includes is_same and then uses it directly.

Note that <type_traits> is part of the standard library as of C++11, and includes std::is_same (which acts exactly like the aforementioned two functions in boost).
