"Static" is an unfortunately overloaded term in C++. Sometimes it means "the opposite of instance," like a "static function" or "static member" of a class. (Some programming languages, like Java, say "class method" to refer to a "static function of a class.") That's not what we mean here. Instead, we mean "part of a compile-time type." For example, `Int<1>` encodes the value 1 at compile time, as part of the type of a templated class `Int<Value>`. `Int<3>` and `Int<4>` have different types. You can get the value of of the type like this: `Int<3>::value`. (The `value` is a `static constexpr` member of the class, where "static" means "opposite of instance.") As soon as you go from `Int<3>` to `Int<3>::value`, you've gone from (3) above (a compile-time value) to (2) above (a `constexpr` value). In some situations, this may mean that the compiler treats it as a run-time value.
