Really?

I would tend to take that as a sign that the code in question could be 
written differently to avoid the conditional, perhaps using SFINAE overloads 
if its controlled by a template parameter's value.

Although IIRC MSVC doesn't like while( 1 ) which is sort of annoying but it 
is ok with for( ; ; ) maybe that's what your referring too.
