Well, I thought about adding a more general integral constant wrapper to
MPL, and implementing 'int_t' in terms of it, but I was going to call it
'integral_t' :). BTW, I agree with the point others made about '_t' prefix,
so my current intention is to name them 'intergal_c' and 'int_c'
respectively  ("c" for "constant"). What do you think?
