FS#801 - Int2Type vs. integral_constant

Just to have some number for the discussion:

Int2Type was introduced in revision 1583 (2005-03-01)
integral_constant was introduced in revision (2010-05-28)

While I can see that the "new" integral_constant concept is more general (and includes a lot of syntactic sugar), it is also very much longer, since, e.g., Int2Type<2> becomes integral_constant<int,2>. Moreover, since integral_constant is pretty new, Int2Type will be used whereever this construct was previously needed. So, if I understand this correctly, we are talking about some code beautification (or uglification).

Before we vote on this, I would like to have someone responsible for the transition (and I don't mean just replacing the old construct by the new one but extensive testing as well as quick bug fixing).
