`static_assert!` is the one (`build_assert!` is the other one, which
is a heavier hammer that should only be used if really needed).

Though our `static_assert!` does not have support for an (optional)
message -- we could add that, perhaps as a good first issue. In this
case it is not a big deal either way.
