Mainly because I try to keep my code within the bounds of what's widely implemented in stable form. My impression about constant expressions in C++ is that, like templates, it's going to take a couple of rounds of tuning in the standard and then some time to propagate into the implementations in stable form. But I'm looking forward to that. In any case, welcome, and I look forward to whatever participation you have the time to offer. shap
