To make it easier to digest, I put together a minimal web page with
- Source code
- A test
- Compiler errors from the test, using different compilers (It's 
supposed to make compiler errors). Compiler errors from the same test 
using BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT, BOOST_MPL_ASSERT and BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_MSG is 
also included, to make it easy to compare.

I think the benefits of my compile time assert is:
- No macros
- No compiler-specific implementation
- It's easy to make useful error-messages
