FWIW, if the standard says that numeric_limits<cv-qualified T>
is different than numeric_limits<T> I would consider it a defect
in the standard -- thecv qualifiers have no impact on the basic
properties of a type, so I don't see any reason why numeric_limits
should make a distinction between them either.
