Ouch... a bit less pretty than I'd hoped (the underscore makes it a bit ugly
IMHO). Does it really need to be a tag, though? Why not just:
   optional(const, is(T == int) || is(T == long))
?

Huh... but what's the difference between "static" and "const", that allows 
"const"
to go after the header but doesn't allow "static" to?
