        <pre>The standard defines a pile of type traits like "is_convertible" (also,
"is_same", "is_base_of", "is_bind_expression", "is_placeholder", "is_void",
"is_constructable", ...) and we currently don't issue the best errors for
these.

$ cat b16776752-2.cc
#include <type_traits>
using namespace std;

struct X {};
struct Y {};

template<class U1, class U2,
         class = typename enable_if<is_convertible<U1, U2>::value>::type>
constexpr void f();

void test() {

1 error generated.

We should instead issue a note that "U1 is not convertible to U2" (given that
this is also a context where the is_convertible must resolve to true).</pre>
