That's really ugly code :-( Is there a way you could write an isStatic(expr) template? Using something like that would make the code a hell of a lot more readable. At the moment, the code itself does a very poor job of conveying what it's trying to accomplish. These SFINAE-like tricks should be black-boxed as much as possible, or (at the very least) commented so that people know what's going on.
