Type traits (since C++11)
Type traits defines a compile-time template-based interface to query or modify the properties of types.
Attempting to specialize a template defined in the <type_traits> header results in undefined behavior, except that std::common_type may be specialized as described in its description.
A template defined in the <type_traits> header may be instantiated with an incomplete type unless otherwise specified, notwithstanding the general prohibition against instantiating standard library templates with incomplete types.
