Why is there both

Should we modify std.traits to make use of __traits? I've
noticed measurably faster compilations with __traits instead of
std.traits for simple things such as isIntegral, isUnsigned,
etc.
If so, I'll happily make that happen!
There is a simple reason, you don't want complicated
type-introspection logic welded into the compiler.
The reason why std.traits it slow is because of inefficiencies
inside the template-system, which I intend to fix.
Therefore your efforts would be wasted.
