Isn't BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT supposed to switch to an enum-based solution in
those cases?  Maybe the fix is to change the #defines that determine which
implementation BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT uses.  Unless the problem is that the
non-enum solution works in the same kinds of blocks that are not member
class templates.
