   template <class T>
   struct has_virtual_destructor : public __tof {};
  
__inherit If T is a (possibly cv-qualified) type with a virtual destructor
then inherits from __true_type, otherwise inherits from __false_type.

__compat There is currently no 
way to portably implement this trait: the default version 
always inherits from __false_type, and has to be explicitly specialized for 
types with virtual destructors unless the compiler used has compiler __intrinsics
that enable the trait to do the right thing: 
Currently (June 2015) compilers more recent than Visual C++ 8, GCC-4.3, Greenhills 6.0, 
Intel-11.0, plus Codegear and Clang have the necessary compiler __intrinsics to ensure that this 
trait "just works".  You may also test to see if the necessary __intrinsics are available 
by checking to see if the macro `BOOST_HAS_VIRTUAL_DESTRUCTOR` is defined.
