[boost] [Type Traits] is_compound

The is_compound docs say:

"  ::boost::is_compound<T>::value Evaluates to true only if T is a
compound type. That is an array, function, pointer, reference,
enumerator, union, class or member function type." 
                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What is that?  IIUC, you can only form pointers to member functions.
Am I missing something?

Wouldn't it be simpler to say:

     "not a void, integral, floating, or enum type"

??
