Ábel Sinkovics and Boost Community,

I have renamed my unit test library for static assertions to "MetaAssert",
to avoid a name conflict with Ábel Sinkovics's MetaTest library.  Our two
libraries provide complementary and related, but non-overlapping
functionality.

The new github repository for MetaAssert is located here:
https://github.com/icaretaker/MetaAssert.  This submission would make it
possible to write unit tests for static assertions embedded in
meta-programs.  Any unit test framework can be used to verify these static
assertions will pass when they should, and fail when they should.  These
tests will all compile, and the non-passing static assertions will
communicate the detected failure to any test framework at run-time, instead
of failing to compile.

Thank you,

Ben Robinson, Ph.D.
