// An Integral Constant is a class providing a compile-time value of an
// integral type.  An Integral Constant is also a nullary metafunction,
// returning itself.  An integral constant object is implicitly
// convertible to the associated value.
//
// A type n is a model of Integral Constant if it meets the following
// requirements:
//
// n::ValueType                : The integral type of n::value
// n::value                    : An integral constant expression
// n::type                     : IsSame<n::type, n>::value is true
// n::value_type const c = n() : c == n::value

// A model of the Integer Constant concept.
// T is an integral type, and is the value_type.
// v is an integral constant, and is the value.
