 * Type trait that determines whether the enum type T can fit within the
 * integral type Storage without data loss. This trait should be used with
 * caution with an enum type whose underlying type has not been explicitly
 * specified: for such enums, the C++ implementation is free to choose a type
 * no smaller than int whose range encompasses all possible values of the enum.
 * So for an enum with only small non-negative values, the underlying type may
 * be either int or unsigned int, depending on the whims of the implementation.
