//! pointer_traits is the implementation of C++11 std::pointer_traits class with some
//! extensions like castings.
//!
//! pointer_traits supplies a uniform interface to certain attributes of pointer-like types.
//!
//! <b>Note</b>: When defining a custom family of pointers or references to be used with BI
//! library, make sure the public static conversion functions accessed through
//! the `pointer_traits` interface (`*_cast_from` and `pointer_to`) can
//! properly convert between const and nonconst referred member types
//! <b>without the use of implicit constructor calls</b>. It is suggested these
//! conversions be implemented as function templates, where the template
//! argument is the type of the object being converted from.
