### integral_promotion

    template <class T>
    struct integral_promotion
    {
       typedef see-below type;
    };

type: If integral promotion can be applied to an rvalue of type `T`, then applies integral promotion to `T` and keeps cv-qualifiers of `T`, otherwise leaves `T` unchanged.

C++ Standard Reference: 4.5 except 4.5/3 (integral bit-field).
