Description
The [compiler support matrix](https://github.com/boostorg/hana/wiki/General-notes-on-compiler-support) says that icc is not supported because it lacks *C++14 variable templates*. Since September, [those are said to be supported by Intel](https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/c14-features-supported-by-intel-c-compiler). How does that change things?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Read the compiler support matrix in the linked Hana wiki page and Intel's C++14 feature-support article, focusing on variable templates and icc. Verify whether Hana's stated limitation still applies, then update the support status and its explanation when the result is established.
