I don't have any better suggestions for the names. I would be fine with 
XSTRCAT as suggested by David Holmes. Or maybe just XCAT since we are 
dealing with tokens and not strings.

This looks good to me. One question about the test in debug.cpp:

  792 // class scope
  793 struct TestMultipleStaticAssertFormsInClassScope {

I know struct and class are pretty much the same, but wouldn't it be 
more consistent to use class instead of struct here since the comment 
(and I think the spec) talk about class scope?

Either way is fine with me and in any case you don't need to send out 
another webrev.

Thanks,
Bengt
