I would have thought that there must be a way to get the minimum and 
maximum value for a C++ built-in type but my search through mpl and 
type_traits yields nothing and numeric_limits requires a run-time 
function call. Surely this information is available to the compiler so 
it must be available to the TMP programmer somewhere. Where is it ?
