The sibling sections [meta.unary], [meta.rel], and [meta.trans] respectively specify UnaryTypeTraits, BinaryTypeTraits, and TransformationTraits, as stated by each /2 paragraph. However, [meta.unary.prop.query] is underspecified. alignment_of, rank, and extent are said to produce "Values", but the type of that Value is not specified, and the struct templates are not required to derive from integral_constant. Such derivation is more than stylistic — it allows the structs to be passed to functions taking integral_constant.

alignment_of returns alignof(T) which is size_t ([expr.alignof]/2). extent returns an array bound, which is clearly size_t. rank returns "the number of dimensions" of an array, so any type could be chosen, with size_t being a reasonable choice. (Another choice would be unsigned int, to match extent's template parameter I.)
