has_denorm
has_denorm_loss
has_infinity
has_quiet_NaN
has_signaling_NaN
is_bounded
is_exact
is_iec559
is_integer
is_modulo
is_signed

The numeric_limits class provides information for a given type. For
example, you can determine whether a given type is signed or exact or how
it might represent infinity.
The Standard Library instantiates numeric_limits for char, bool, signed
char, unsigned char, short, unsigned short, int, unsigned int, long,
unsigned long, float, double, and long double. This class could also be
instantiated for a user-defined type.
