Comment:

 At first glance, this ''seems'' like an MSVC bug where the symbols are
 getting optimised in a way that is confusing the linker. Does this problem
 also occur in Visual C++ 2017? If so, I think we could probably change the
 macro to use the real `static_assert` (which, actually, might not be a bad
 idea in any case) which will hopefully solve the problem since then that
 symbol would be a string literal for the `message` parameter of
 `static_assert`, and the compiler will know how to deal with its own
 static assertions, and so much less likely to get screwed up.
