I will send a new patch that includes a comment in the release notes.

I added a new run line for C++11 but did not change the previous run line, so
the test will get run once in C++98 mode and again in C++11.  The results of
the test should be the same in both dialects so I wanted to run the test in
each mode to verify it.  I will add an explicit -std=c++98 to the first run line
to make the distinction clear.
I could still change the test to conditionally use real static_asserts only in
C++11 mode, but in this case it seemed better to use a construct that works in
both language modes.
