Comment:

 Sorry guys, but this is emphatically not a type_trait, nor will it get
 added to Boost.TR1: that mirrors the already published TR which does not
 contain is_sorted.

 Even though such an algorithm exists as an implementation detail,
 promotion to full Boost status still really requires some kind of review
 to verify that we have the correct semantics and range of algorithms
 supported.

 So... I'm afraid I'm closing as won't fix.... especially as we appear not
 to have a maintainer for Boost.Algorithm at present :-(  If I'm wrong
 about that, please reopen and assign to them.  Otherwise you're going to
 have to lobby for a review - I do note that you're still in the review
 queue - and it shouldn't be that hard to find a review manager for this
 little library if you ask around.

 Regards, John.
