Yeah I suppose so, all the values we alias are integral types so static const should have equivalent compile-time assurance as constexpr.

Previously if I had a class with a static constexpr member variable I would have to not only declare it inline within the class, but also define it within an executable otherwise the variable would not actually have any physical memory address:
