yeah, the docs are wrong. I just hacked out all the other tests and tried
transform_traits_test on msvc6:

--------
33 tests completed, 0 failures found, 84 failures expected from this
compiler.
no errors detected
--------

The type traits tests are in really terrible shape. It's almost impossible
to tell if a given change has broken something or not, what works, what
doesn't, etc. Like I said, someone really needs to give them the once-over.
