I agree with the addition of Decl() definition in a header, and could
not think about something better than one for bufpage.h for the
all-zero check case, so I went with that. Attached is a 0001 which
adds the definition for StaticAssertDecl() for C and C++ for all code
paths. If there are no objections, I would like to commit this
version. There is no fancy refactoring in it, and small progress is
better than no progress. I have also reworked the comments in the
patch, and did some testing on Windows.

Seeing nothing happening on this side. I took a shot at all that, and
I have hacked my way through it with 0002 which is an attempt to unify
the fallback implementation for C and C++. This is not fully baked
yet, and it is perhaps a matter of taste if this makes the code more
readable or not. I think it does, because it reduces the parts
dedicated to assertion definitions from four to three. Anyway, let's
discuss about that.
