<title>Description</title>
<para>A type is Numeric if it has the properties of a number.</para>
<para>More specifically, a type T is Numeric if there exists
specialization of <code>std::numeric_limits&lt;T&gt;</code>. See the
documentation for standard library class numeric_limits. The standard
library includes such specializations for all the primitive numeric types.
Note that this concept is distinct from the C++ standard library type
traits <code>is_integral</code> and <code>is_arithmetic</code>. These
latter fulfill the requirement of the concept Numeric. But there are types
T which fulfill this concept for which <code>is_arithmetic&lt;T&gt;::value
== false</code>. For example see
<code>safe_signed_integer&lt;int&gt;</code>.</para>
