/*
This header defines two traits classes, both in namespace boost::math::tools.

is_distribution<D>::value is true iff D has overloaded "cdf" and
"quantile" functions, plus member typedefs value_type and policy_type.  
It's not much of a definitive test frankly,
but if it looks like a distribution and quacks like a distribution
then it must be a distribution.

is_scaled_distribution<D>::value is true iff D is a distribution
as defined above, and has member functions "scale" and "location".
