Type Traits
===========

`xsimd` provides a few type traits to interact with scalar and batch types in an
uniform manner.


Combined traits:

+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| :cpp:class:`batch_traits`             | batch types and proprties                          |
+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+

Type check:

+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| :cpp:class:`is_batch`                 | batch type detection                               |
+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| :cpp:class:`is_batch_bool`            | mask batch type detection                          |
+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| :cpp:class:`is_batch_complex`         | complex batch type detection                       |
+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+

Type access:

+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| :cpp:class:`scalar_type`              | batch element type                                 |
+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| :cpp:class:`mask_type`                | batch mask type                                    |
+---------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
