 // Implementation Note: STATIC_ASSERT_FAILURE<true> provides a value member
 // rather than type member that could be used directly in the typedef, because
 // a type member would require conditional use of "typename", depending on
 // whether Cond is dependent or not.  The use of a value member leads to the
-// use of an array type.  Terniary operator because, purportedly, some old
-// compilers don't handle implict conversion properly in this context.  it
-// also deals with C++11 constexpr explict conversion to bool :)
+// use of an array type.
