__examples

[:`is_const<int const>` inherits from `__true_type`.]

[:`is_const<int const volatile>::type` is the type `__true_type`.]

[:`is_const<int* const>::value` is an integral constant 
expression that evaluates to /true/.]

[:`is_const<int const*>::value` is an integral constant 
expression that evaluates to /false/: the const-qualifier is not
at the top level in this case.]

[:`is_const<int const&>::value` is an integral constant 
expression that evaluates to /false/: the const-qualifier is not
at the top level in this case.]

[:`is_const<int>::value` is an integral constant 
expression that evaluates to /false/.]

[:`is_const<T>::value_type` is the type `bool`.]
