Hmm seems like bad grammar to me.  Are we not asking 
"are these two classes related by a base-derived 
relationship?"  IOW it's a test on *both* classes so 
are_base_derived seems better.  I'd really like 
are_base_and_derived.

Alternatively, could we (and should we) use named 
template parameters as in the iterator adapters library?
I.e. tbd< base<B>, derived<D> >::value where tbd is a
name to be decided, perhaps just "are".
