//    Fixed is_pointer, is_reference, is_const, is_volatile, is_same, 
//    is_member_pointer based on the Simulated Partial Specialization work 
//    of Mat Marcus and Jesse Jones. See  http://opensource.adobe.com or

//    Some workarounds in here use ideas suggested from "Generic<Programming>: 
//    Mappings between Types and Values" 
//    by Andrei Alexandrescu (see http://www.cuj.com/experts/1810/alexandr.html).
