MSVC 2017 has more than enough C++14 (including constexpr) for many 
practical purposes. If Yap weren't tied to Hana in its interface, a port of 
the implementation allowing use under MSVC might have been possible. As is, 
it isn't, because MSVC 2017 can't even include hana.hpp at present, let 
alone make any use of it.
