Not yet, but I'm working (slowly, I admit :P) on a constrained
types library. With this library it would be as easy as:

saturating_int<int, 0, 5>::type rating;
rating = -10; // clips the value to 0
rating = 10; // clips the value to 5

Recently I've found some time to continue working on the library
and am writing the documentation, but I can't tell whether and
when the library will be accepted as a Boost library. This can
take some time since there's still some work to do. Therefore if
you need the feature urgently you shouldn't count on soon
availability of the library.

Best regards,
Robert
