Hi Howard,

Your mail is spot on.

Of the 54 current clang trait primitives only 25 have feature checks and 
a paltry 23 get any mention in the documentation.

Regardless of the merits of each primitive we can certainly do better 
than that. I'll throw together some early documentation and 
__has_feature() support and propose them on the list as I get a chance 
over the holiday period.

Like you say this is a slow burner of an issue with no immediate action 
required but one we can start to address today with more transparency.

Cheers,
Alp.
