Native CTFE and macros are a beautiful thing though.
What did you mean with native?
When cx needs to execute a function at compiletime, it links it
into a shared object and loads it back with dlsym/dlopen. So
while you get a slower startup speed (until the cache is filled),
any further calls to a ctfe function run at native performance.
Plus, it means the macro is ABI compatible with the running
compiler, so the compiler can pass objects back and forth without
a glue layer.
