+__inherit If T is a (possibly cv-qualified) type with a non-throwing destructor
+then inherits from __true_type, otherwise inherits from __false_type.  Type `T`
+must be a complete type.
+
+__compat Either requires C++11 `noexcept` and `decltype` or else some (unspecified) help from the compiler.
+You may test to see if the necessary support is available 
+by checking to see if `!defined(BOOST_NO_CXX11_DECLTYPE) && !defined(BOOST_NO_CXX11_NOEXCEPT)` is true.
+
+__header ` #include <boost/type_traits/has_nothrow_copy.hpp>` or ` #include <boost/type_traits.hpp>`
+
+[note
+Note that destructors are assumed to be non-throwing unless they are explicitly marked otherwise with a `throw(something)` specification.
+This is in line with the C++11 standard.
