I've been implementing compiler support for is_standard_layout, and noticed a few nits about [meta.unary.prop]:

  1. There's no trait for "trivially copyable type", which is now the property that lets you do bitwise copying of a type, and therefore seems useful to be able to query. has_trivial_assign && has_trivial_copy_constructor && has_trivial_destructor is similar, but not identical, specifically with respect to const types.
  2. has_trivial_copy_constructor and has_trivial_assign lack the "or an array of such a class type" language that most other traits in that section, including has_nothrow_copy_constructor and has_nothrow_assign, have; this seems like an oversight.
