The following code results in the static assert in the

no constructor would have been called. I know that there is an
easy fix for this (move the static if outside the
constructor), but it still seems like it doesn't make sense.

The problem is that static assert triggers when the function is
compiled (not when it's called), and since your ctor is not a
template function, it will always be compiled. Hence the static
assert will always trigger.

Thanks. Makes sense.
