This documentation was pulled together by John Maddock, using Boost.Quickbook and Boost.DocBook.

The original version of this library was created by Steve Cleary, Beman Dawes, Howard Hinnant, and John Maddock. John Maddock is the current maintainer of the library.

This version of type traits library is based on contributions by Adobe Systems Inc, David Abrahams, Steve Cleary, Beman Dawes, Aleksey Gurtovoy, Howard Hinnant, Jesse Jones, Mat Marcus, Itay Maman, John Maddock, Thorsten Ottosen, Robert Ramey and Jeremy Siek.

Mat Marcus and Jesse Jones invented, and published a paper describing, the partial specialization workarounds used in this library.
