Well, because that was about the very first thing that was proposed for this 
utility and it got rejected for reasons that are lost in the mists of time 
now :-(   We had an unreasonably long discussion about static assert and how 
to implement it that I'd rather not re-visit if possible.

However, the attached seems to work OK and fix the warning, can you double 
check where you are?
