SFINAE[^] itself is a concept that has been an important part of C++ since the use of templates was seriously explored.

It basically allows the compiler to consider any potential type for the creation of a template. If an error were to occur because of one of the potential substitutions, it will simply remove that from the list of candidates. As long as there is a valid candidate to instantiate the template no error will be emitted.

The "expression SFINAE" in the C++11 standard expands the compiler support to evaluate and consider certain expressions that are known at compile-time, and therefore should be able to be resolved by SFINAE.

IMO, this is a corner-case that will be nice when it's support appears, but it is by no means something that will be sorely missed by many.

constexpr on the other hand is one that I have been waiting for from VS for years.

Everything you said was accurate.
I assert that C, C#, JAVA, JavaScript and even C++ programmers know enough to be dangerous in C++.

I think the devs that are dangerous, are the ones that believe they have learned it all...

I'm pretty sure that's not you Cool | :cool:
