Maybe the real question is why you feel you must send your message.

Please do consider the issue as raised on the main list and the
discussion there. 

The point is we must say something about numerci_limits<>, and this
consistently with the behaviour of GCC.  This probably is not an issue
for C, but it is for C++.

For all useful purposes, do remember that GCC used to define is_modulo
as false for signed integer types.  It was consciously changed to true
by RTH.  See the reference I gave.

Now, if you do not understand the issue, please refrain from sending
unhelpful messages.
