// This file provides some compile-time information about various types.
// These representations were designed, on purpose, to be constant-expressions
// and not types as found in <bits/type_traits.h>. In particular, they
// can be used in control structures and the optimizer hopefully will do
// the obvious thing.
//
// Why integral expressions, and not functions nor types?
// Firstly, these compile-time entities are used as template-arguments
// so function return values won't work: We need compile-time entities.
// We're left with types and constant integral expressions.
// Secondly, from the point of view of ease of use, type-based compile-time
// information is -not- *that* convenient. On has to write lots of
// overloaded functions and to hope that the compiler will select the right
// one. As a net effect, the overall structure isn't very clear at first
// glance.
// Thirdly, partial ordering and overload resolution (of function templates)
// is highly costly in terms of compiler-resource. It is a Good Thing to
// keep these resource consumption as least as possible.
//
// See valarray_array.h for a case use.
//

// Update 2005: types are also provided and <bits/type_traits.h> has been
// removed.
//
// Forward declaration hack, should really include this from somewhere.
