Sorry, that may well have been me. I checked in an updated description in
is_base_and_derived.hpp (OK'ed by John Maddock), and it happened to contain:

"B1 const volatile*/B2 const volatile*"

which of course the compiler interpreted as ending the comment. Therefore it
gave an error on the rest. Any file including this header, or
type_traits.hpp (which includes it), would therefore fail.

I didn't run the tests on this one before committing, because I thought
changing a comment couldn't possibly break any tests. It's fixed now.

This goes for RC_1_30_0, as well.
