If they weren't defined, could generic code work with them? The GCC
specialization for the int type includes all of the members, even the
ones that are only applicable to floating-point values, so I did too.

How generic code could work if the returned values are not
applicable, not significant. I would prefer a compile error than a runtime error.

std::numeric_limits comes from C++ standard
so you must consult the standard to figure out why is
std::numeric_limits designed the way it is
I don't think I have said nothing that merits this answer.
I know perfectly how std::numeric_limits  is designed. I'm just saying that if XInt defines
std::numeric_limits<boost::xint::integer>::max() as 0, 
no generic code can make use of this.
Please read the posts carefuly before replying.
My bad, I missed the is_bounded detail.
