That is a compile time check, right?
I meant a runtime check.

How does that piece of code work anyways :D
static if = compile time if
is = comparison between two non value things?
typeof = returns the type

I know use this (in the ddata thread above):

foreach(char c; identifier)
{
 if( !inPattern( c, `_a-zA-Z0-9`) )
 {
  return false;
 }
}
