Actually, concept_checks.h is something different than type_traits.h.
As you probably know, type_traits is for finding out information about
the constructors, etc. of a type. concept_checks.h, on the other hand,
is about checking such things as: is the iterator argument the user
passed really a BidirectionalIterator? Or is the value_type of
the vector really Assignable?
