Don't want to offtopic too much, but does anybody else feels that we could use runtime_assert in boost? Name might be dumb(alternatives: runeval_assert, smart_assert, ...), but idea is to fix the issue of assert messing with constexpr functions by running assert only at runtime. Does something like this already exists in Boost? https://www.godbolt.org/z/nTzh6TfKK (uses C++23 if consteval, but obviously it can be made to work in C++20). Unfortunately error text is useless for most developers since it dies in runtime_assert, but probably better than nothing. Also maybe somebody knows a portable Boost way to get the nicer error message to users, maybe using std::source_location?
