We already did that for core::string_view, why not do it again, the procedure has been a smashing success and of enormous benefit to everyone. My proposal here is to not have the alternative macro in Core but instead make StaticAssert satisfy more people. You will only have that problem if you keep the macro in Core. So your sarcasm is misplaced.
As for string_view, either way it would have been bad. Specifically, having two string_views (three, if you count std::string_view) is bad since it causes all kinds of ambiguities.
Violent agreement here, one key selling point of Boost is so that folks don't have to keep wheel-reinventing, it seems a shame if we're doing here.
John.
Right. Now I'll repeat my eternal proposal of moving also Boost.Assert to Core after we finish with Boost.StaticAssert ;-) Ion
