    // the value of the "value" enumerator is not constant. Placing
    // them out here (for some strange reason) allows the sizeof
    // operator against them to magically be constant. This is
    // important to make the is_class<T>::value idiom zero cost. it
    // evaluates to a constant 1 or 0 depending on whether the
    // parameter T is a class or not (respectively).
