Hmmm, if it's true that this only changes the behavior of a type with a 
constrained default constructor, then I think it's fine despite being an ABI 
break (we never claimed full support for concepts, so anyone relying on a 
particular behavior was mistaken to do that). I can't quite convince myself 
this doesn't impact other cases though -- the logic for computing triviality is 
nontrivial itself (pun intended), so I'm really only concerned that 
`__is_trivial` and friends return a different value for a non-constrained type. 
However, I also can't come up with a test case whose behavior changes either.
