Types are types; types do not denote types. Here I don't know if there might be a reason we talk about cv nullptr_t being multiple distinct *types*, as if otherwise the reader might imagine const nullptr_t to be the same type as volatile nullptr_t. Otherwise, that sentence should clearly be just "std::nullptr_t is a distinct type." Notably `std::meta::info` is *not* currently described as a distinct type. I don't think that's intentional; I think it's practically required to be a distinct type anyway. So I think this diff is editorial.
