This will be the first time we accept a macro into boost ( aside from boost PP) and I just think this sends the wrong message.
Actually, this isn't true. we accepted BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT into boost quite a while ago. Note that the standards committee is seriously considering adding static assertions to the core (see http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2004/n1720.html).
Yes, but BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT is a library writers tool, not really for end users.
Please don't make me take it out of my applications. :-) Seriously, from my experience, as a non-library-writer, I use it in several places to ensure I don't do something stupid in the future. Jeff Flinn
