Description

While the native types are supported by numeric_limits<>, the non-native types are not (at least, as far as I can tell). It would be a really nice addition to the library to have all boost::endian types provide numeric_limits specialisations.

Incidentally, if this is not the correct place to report bugs/feature requests, please let me know and I'll move it to wherever is more appropriate.

Thanks,
Roger

Done means all Boost.Endian non-native types have appropriate numeric_limits specializations and tests verify them.
