FS#801 - Int2Type vs. integral_constant
User who did this - Oliver Sander (sander)

----------
I am against keeping both unless Int2Type really does something that integral_constant cannot do.  Even though the classes are small and simple this kind of cruft accumulates and makes Dune more difficult to understand and maintain.

If we are to remove one class I vote for the removal of Int2Type, because it is less flexible, less well documented, and because integral_constant is part of an upcoming standard. Of course 'removal' means keeping the old class as deprecated for a grace period of a suitable duration.

In my opinion, the additional work needed to replace occurrences of Int2Type by integral_constant is not a strong argument.  I volunteer to help.
