One of the basic things is what they call campling (== promotion traits ?)
Are you referring to what is commonly called "clamping"? If yes, I don't think this is what promotion traits are for (but maybe my definition of the latter is off).
I stated that I am not an expert so I hope this gets explained by the experts. Actually I only now about clamping as per the mentioned C++ book but I have not looked at promotion traits (but I inferred from the messages that promotion traits handle the overflow/underflow cases)
