Right now, there's a clear distinction between compile time and run time
computation. For the canonical example:
assert(0);
We certainly do not want to run that at compile time, because it's only
supposed to fail if control flow reaches there. For compile time, we've got:
static assert(0);
which only runs at compile time.
>From my POV, the "run it at compile time if possible" is fraut with problems.
There's so much in D that relies on, for example, *failing* to compile an
expression, that having a wishy-washy construct like the proposal raises a big
flag of "there be dragons".
I'm strongly opposed to this proposal.
