   We could, but I disagree that this is the best direction to take 
`type_traits.h`.

   Could you give an example? I'm not convinced this is a useful distinction. 
If we explicitly define a set, when would we do so other than to enumerate the 
elements which have a property?

   This is a fair point, but I'd say that it would be sufficient to deprecate 
the existing traits to give users an opportunity to update.
