>I notice you used old-style casts rather than static_cast<>.  Was 
that because GCC doesn't handle static_cast<> correctly?  (I tried 
it, and it worked for the other compilers but failed for GCC with an 
error message indicating lack of some static_cast<> support.)

Anyhow, should you add a comment indicating why you are using old 
style casts?

Yes, static_casts in integral constant expressions don't alway work (it not
just gcc IMO that has a problem here) - anyway I'll add a comment to that
effect...
