Comment:

 Don't you mean is_object_pointer and is_function_pointer ??

 In any case, these can be easily composed from remove_pointer and
 is_function:

 is_object_pointer == !is_function<remove_pointer<T>::type>
 is_function_pointer == is_function<remove_pointer<T>::type>

 Generally speaking we try not to add too many traits that are simple
 compositions of others - we would quickly end up with a very large list!

 John.

 PS, closing this issue for now, please reopen if you can drum up enough
 support :-)
