The following code results in the static assert in the constructor being triggered, even though I would have thought no constructor would have been called.
static assert is triggered when the code is *compiled*, whether it is actually run or not.
So as long s the function exists, its static asserts must all pass before it even gets to the runtime decision of if it is actually called or no.
