And to me. Static assertions are a great idea - they express things you
used to write in comments, but now you have them in code and checked by
tools with zero run-time cost.

But there are perhaps situations where previously (pre C++20) you might
have used general templates and then a static_assert to cause
compile-time failures if some property is not satisfied, and now you
would prefer to use a concept. That may be what the OP meant here.
