This will work on most compilers, but it has other problems (aside from
"::template ..."): there's no way to specialize is<T>... to support new type
relationships, since all of its nested classes must be declared within the
unspecialized template.

I like Vesa's approach:

   is< D >::derived_from< B >::value
   is< B >::base_of< D >::value

Is it possible to make this work on most compilers?
