// Note: 
//  we could actually template the type and recover 
//  the TR1 integral_constant type. This also 
//  includes adding a typedef for the type and a
//  typedef for the struct in the struct below
//
// This is going to be helpful to "split" a given 
// call into 2 options based on a type constraint
// at compilation-time (rather than doing an "if" 
// which would only be resolved at runtime and could
// thus resutl in compilation errors.
