  While error messages obviously differ from compiler to compiler, but
  you should see something like: </p>

  <pre>Illegal use of COMPILE_TIME_ASSERTION_FAILURE&lt;false&gt;</pre>

STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE<false> is "something like" that.  Since I
don't know the intention of the documentation authors and I don't want
to encourage users to count on the exact error message, I'm not going
to make the change myself.  Maybe when John gets back from his
vacation he'll feel differently.
