OK. I have no problem to modify all my current assertion messages to your
suggested text ("array length mismatch") if you think it is better.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I didn't think the error message text is
of very great significance here because it is a compile-time issue meaning the
*only* person who would see the message is the 1 developer who accidentally
introduced a bug just moments beforehand. The compile will fail with a source
line number, and when the developer sees the StaticAssertDecl at that source
line the cause of the error is anyway self-evident by the condition parameter.
Kind Regards
