We can do that to silence the warning.

However, the proper solution is to redesign the function in question so that 
the bad code never appears on it. The STL solution for this is to use tag 
types and indirect via another function call.

João knows all about this and he had a plan to implement this cleaner code at 
one point.

That's why we need static_if in C++2x :-)
