Thanks, that fixed it. I guess I should have checked that doc before posting
here.

(Un)fortunately I just noticed another rule in that document:

"Don't use local names as integral constant expressions"

I'm doing that all over the place at the moment. I guess it's another
motivation to use the MPL meta-functions instead. I guess I have to write
support for those missing operators asap.

I agree. I just tried the enum-hack to see if it would work.

Thanks,
