I can't access this without signing up, but see below.

Variable templates and generalized constexpr are used in the library.
Workarounds _might_ be possible, but I have to say I'm unwilling to
make the code less legible in favour of workarounds since Boost.Hana
is a bleeding edge library.

Still, if something can easily be done about it and make the library
usable by massively more people, I will.
