My suggestion was to make "ct" a prefix akin to "static_" in static_cast and static_assert.  I do like the parallel with "rt," so I would prefer these:

   ct_bounded<int>
   rt_bounded<short>

Those have the advantage of being readable in English: "compile time bounded int" and "runtime bounded short."  With familiarity, I imagine that "compile time" and "runtime" would be reduced to "see tee" and "arr tee."
