This issue is unrelated to CRTP. (also, you probably want to negate

It's not that it makes the compiler's life hard. It's the fact that
conditional compilation relies on state that doesn't exist yet. It's messed up
to be checking whether an object defines something when you're in the middle of
defining that object.
