/// -  bsl::is_const: meta-function for determining `const`-qualified types
/// -  bsl::is_const_v: the result value of the `bsl::is_const` meta-function
///
/// @see  bslmf_integralconstant
///
/// # Description {#bslmf_isconst-description}
/// This component defines a meta-function, `bsl::is_const` and a
/// template variable `bsl::is_const_v`, that represents the result value of the
/// `bsl::is_const` meta-function, that may be used to query whether a type is
/// `const`-qualified as defined in the C++ standard [basic.type.qualifier].
///
/// `bsl::is_const` meets the requirements of the `is_const` template defined in
/// the C++11 standard [meta.unary.prop].
///
/// Note that the template variable `is_const_v` is defined in the C++17
/// standard as an inline variable.  If the current compiler supports the inline
/// variable C++17 compiler feature, `bsl::is_const_v` is defined as an
/// `inline constexpr bool` variable.  Otherwise, if the compiler supports the
/// variable templates C++14 compiler feature, `bsl::is_const_v` is defined
/// as a non-inline `constexpr bool` variable.  See
/// `BSLS_COMPILERFEATURES_SUPPORT_INLINE_VARIABLES` and
/// `BSLS_COMPILERFEATURES_SUPPORT_VARIABLE_TEMPLATES` macros in
/// bsls_compilerfeatures component for details.
///
/// ## Usage {#bslmf_isconst-usage}
///
///
/// In this section we show intended use of this component.
///
/// ### Example 1: Verify const Types {#bslmf_isconst-example-1-verify-const-types}
///
///
/// Suppose that we want to assert whether a particular type is
/// `const`-qualified.
///
/// First, we create two `typedef`s -- a `const`-qualified type and an
/// unqualified type:
/// @code
/// typedef int        MyType;
/// typedef const int  MyConstType;
/// @endcode
/// Now, we instantiate the `bsl::is_const` template for each of the `typedef`s
/// and assert the `value` static data member of each instantiation:
/// @code
/// assert(false == bsl::is_const<MyType>::value);
/// assert(true  == bsl::is_const<MyConstType>::value);
/// @endcode
/// Note that if the current compiler supports the variable templates C++14
/// feature then we can re-write the snippet of code above using the
/// `bsl::is_const_v` variable as follows:
/// @code
/// #ifdef BSLS_COMPILERFEATURES_SUPPORT_VARIABLE_TEMPLATES
///   assert(false == bsl::is_const_v<MyType>);
///   assert(true  == bsl::is_const_v<MyConstType>);
/// #endif
/// @endcode
