It is difficult in some places in the type_traits documentation to tell when the documentation mentions "pointer" whether this refers to data pointers, function pointers, member data pointers, and/or member function pointers. I assume that if the documentation just refers to "pointer" that it should mean all of the above. But here goes:
1) Does the 'remove_pointer' refer to all of the above ? The examples are only for a single one of the above, a data pointer.
It excludes pointers to members, because the result would not be a valid type.
2) The 'is_pointer' doc does say it excludes pointer to members by which I assume this means both member data and member functions. Is there any way to tell whether a pointer is a function pointer or a data pointer by using type_traits since 'is_pointer' includes both ?
