I see... As you did (and wrote!) in cpp_type_traits.h, right?
I will work out the approach you suggest (thanks!) for both copy and
copy_backward, right?
Anyway, if this is the way to go (by the way, are you deadly sure that
our beloved compiler ;) is able to generate code equally efficient in
the two cases?) I think we have to rethink some code in basic_string too...
