Comment (by ramey):

 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/integral-

 constant.html

 defines "integral constant" as a concept.

 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/assert-

 relation.html

 shows

 Synopsis

 #define BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( x, relation, y ) \
     unspecified token sequence \

 with parameter x and y required to be "integral constant"

 The example shows

 BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( sizeof(T), <, sizeof(U) );

 which supports your reading.  At the very least the document
 has to be considered confusing and in need of improvement.
