-// - COMPILE_ASSERT works by defining an array type that has -1
-//   elements (and thus is invalid) when the expression is false.

-//     #define COMPILE_ASSERT(expr, msg) typedef char msg[(expr) ? 1 : -1]

-//   does not work, as gcc supports variable-length arrays whose sizes
-//   are determined at run-time (this is gcc's extension and not part
-//   of the C++ standard).  As a result, gcc fails to reject the
-//   following code with the simple definition:
-//
-//     int foo;
-//     COMPILE_ASSERT(foo, msg); // not supposed to compile as foo is
-//                               // not a compile-time constant.
-//
-// - By using the type CompileAssert<(bool(expr))>, we ensures that
-//   expr is a compile-time constant.  (Template arguments must be
-//   determined at compile-time.)
-//
-// - The outer parentheses in CompileAssert<(bool(expr))> are necessary
-//   to work around a bug in gcc 3.4.4 and 4.0.1.  If we had written
-//
-//     CompileAssert<bool(expr)>
-//
-//   instead, these compilers will refuse to compile
-//
-//     COMPILE_ASSERT(5 > 0, some_message);
-//
-//   (They seem to think the ">" in "5 > 0" marks the end of the
-//   template argument list.)
-//
-// - The array size is (bool(expr) ? 1 : -1), instead of simply
-//
-//     ((expr) ? 1 : -1).
-//
-//   This is to avoid running into a bug in MS VC 7.1, which
