Why is a runtime error better than a compile-time error in this case?

I implemented it this way because it was the easiest thing to do. I'm happy to make it a compile-time error.

I'm asking you/us to figure out what the right response is. I think it's the latter, but someone else should give it some thought. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
