That sounds like a reasonable idea.  I'm not terribly experienced in
traits; what would be a good name for the function?  Some of CppUnit
already uses "toString", which seems reasonable enough, yes?

I'm not very knowledgable about the state of support for various features
of the language.  What is the workaround for compilers that don't support
template static members?

Actually: why does TestAssert need to be a class at all?  There are no
data members, so why not just make it a namespace with a bunch of
templatized functions?
