Yeah, fair point, and anyway we don't need the StaticAssert to exist
everywhere.  I'll make it so.

Shall we also backpatch the ALLOCSET_*_SIZES macros as Christoph
suggested?  I'm not convinced of the usefulness of that, since
extensions would still have to cope with them not being present
when building against existing minor releases.
