Thanks.

None, right now -- I wrote it because last night I suddenly discovered I needed
it. :-)

Tobias Schwinger, whom I mention in the acknowledgments, is working on a version
intended to be integrated into the Type Traits library sometime in the near
future. (I'm not sure if it will require a review or if John Maddock will simply
add it if he finds it satsifactory.). Last night I looked at his version, and it
wasn't what I needed, so I wrote my own.

I'd be happy to work with Tobias on a unified proposal, if he's interested. On
the developers list today I asked him to take a look at it.
