That's correct. I haven't found any configuration where it compiles 
under Windows -- and I tried pretty hard to get around this one... for 
example, slicing the arrays does not help. Even this (arguably simpler) 
variation doesn't work:

bool a()
{
     return "x"!="y";
}

void main()
{
     static assert( a() );
}
