I initially intended to do this, but sadly using _Generic inside our static assert constructs (even the new version you added) causes internal compiler errors on MSVC 19... I agree with your other feedback, and I think it's probably best to retract this patch (I've marked it as committeed in the commitfest now, because of all the other patches). The main reason I cared about this was to have a _Generic based macro for type comparisons, which I could use in other patches. I'll just create some there instead.
