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. 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.
