------- Comment #2 from smjg at iname.com  2007-03-21 12:34 -------
That a type isn't implemented shouldn't render code that tries to use it
_syntactically_ invalid.  It should be rejected at the semantic level, just as
it would be if it were just another undefined identifier.  Thus the body of the
static if would simply be conditioned out, because cent is not a valid type.

How else is one supposed to test whether a given compiler has cent/ucent
implemented?
