23.15.4 Unary type traits [meta.unary]

23.15.4.2 Composite type traits [meta.unary.comp]

These templates provide convenient compositions of the primary type categories, corresponding to the descriptions given in section [basic.types].

For any given type T, the result of applying one of these templates to T and to cv T shall yield the same result.
