I would suggest that a compile-time error be produced instead of a runtime 
error for invalid template parameters.  Something like the following.

 typedef typename __enable_if<result_type,
                              is_floating_point<result_type>::value
			     >::__type is_valid_type;

Just, you know, in case you're serious about implementing these.
