test if a type can be vectorized

[Matthias Kretz]

Hi Kay,

AFAIK, there is no way to do it with Vc 1.3. I'm pretty certain because I implemented the ability to query for is_destructible/constructible in current master (to become Vc 2.0).
There's probably one workaround, and that's too enumerate all types that are valid, returning true. Return false otherwise. That's not really what you've asked for, though.

Cheers,
Matthias
