We can only use the things we have, not what we could potentially have. And what we have is horrendous error messages. And it takes more than filing bugs to fix that.
I am just asking users to actually be vocal about such error walls so the situation comes up to our level of consciousness. These are bugs like other, except it is diffcult to preemptively find them due to the fact some slight details of suer defined types may induce such phenomena.
Then, th etool for fixing them are there, static-assert and concept check are working rather nicely once you actually use them.
