Comment:

 The two operands to ? have different types.  One is used by tribool (which
 is not a bool), and one is a bool.  If you enable C++11 the compiler
 properly detects this issue and fails.  If you use C++03 it does fail as
 documented.  I'm not certain it's worth documenting this behavior for
 C++03 however, so I am going to resolve this as wontfix.  It can be
 reopened as a github issue if folks feel strongly it needs to be
 addressed.
