/** \class NumTraits
  *
  * \brief Holds some data about the various numeric (i.e. scalar) types allowed by Eigen.
  *
  * \param T the numeric type about which this class provides data. Recall that Eigen allows
  *          only the following types for \a T: \c int, \c float, \c double,
  *          \c std::complex<float>, \c std::complex<double>, and \c long \c double (especially
  *          useful to enforce x87 arithmetics when SSE is the default).
  *
  * The provided data consists of everything that is supported by std::numeric_limits, plus:
  * \li A typedef \a Real, giving the "real part" type of \a T. If \a T is already real,
  *     then \a Real is just a typedef to \a T. If \a T is \c std::complex<U> then \a Real
  *     is a typedef to \a U.
  * \li A typedef \a FloatingPoint, giving the "floating-point type" of \a T. If \a T is
  *     \c int, then \a FloatingPoint is a typedef to \c double. Otherwise, \a FloatingPoint
  *     is a typedef to \a T.
  * \li An enum value \a IsComplex. It is equal to 1 if \a T is a \c std::complex
  *     type, and to 0 otherwise.
  * \li An enum \a HasFloatingPoint. It is equal to \c 0 if \a T is \c int,
  *     and to \c 1 otherwise.
  * \li An epsilon() function which, unlike std::numeric_limits::epsilon(), returns a \a Real instead of a \a T.
  * \li A dummy_precision() function returning a weak epsilon value. It is mainly used by the fuzzy comparison operators.
  * \li Two highest() and lowest() functions returning the highest and lowest possible values respectively.
