__inherit If T is an signed integer type or an enumerated type with an
underlying signed integer type, then inherits from __true_type, 
otherwise inherits from __false_type.

__examples

[:`is_signed<int>` inherits from `__true_type`.]

[:`is_signed<int const volatile>::type` is the type `__true_type`.]

[:`is_signed<unsigned int>::value` is an integral constant 
expression that evaluates to /false/.]

[:`is_signed<myclass>::value` is an integral constant 
expression that evaluates to /false/.]

[:`is_signed<char>::value` is an integral constant 
expression whose value depends upon the signedness of type `char`.]

[:`is_signed<long long>::value` is an integral constant 
expression that evaluates to /true/.]

[:`is_signed<T>::value_type` is the type `bool`.]
