I think it would be simpler to just do this unconditionally (i.e. just a
single definition without using __has_builtin):

template<typename _Tp>
  struct is_compound
  : __bool_constant<!is_fundamental<_Tp>::value>
  { };

This still avoids instantiating __not_. If is_fundamental is much more
efficient now, then I think it's OK to instantiate it here. Otherwise we're
duplicating the logic for is_fundamental, and just giving ourselves more
code to maintain.

Nobody ever uses is_compound anyway!
