 * Reusable template meta-functions on types and compile-time values.  Meta-
 * functions are placed inside the 'tl' namespace to avoid conflict with non-
 * meta functions of the same name (e.g., mozilla::tl::FloorLog2 vs.
 * mozilla::FloorLog2).
 *
 * When constexpr support becomes universal, we should probably use that instead
 * of some of these templates, for simplicity.
