Re: Is there a way to make a function parameter accept only values that can be checked at compile time?

Thanks! That's cool but I don't want this to be this way. Or at least I want it to be able to take a default value so we don't have to get passed all the time.

OK:

```
extern (C) void main() {
   void print_num(int mul = 100)(int num) {
     static if (is(mul == ten)) {
       printf("%d\n", num * 10);
     } else static if (is(mul == three)) {
       printf("%d\n", num * 3);
     } else {
       printf("%d\n", num);
     }
   }

   int multi = 211;
   print_num!3(10);     // Set the value
   print_num(30);        // Get the default value, have the "else" branch 
executed
}
```

Template parameters are just like regular parameters, but compile time.
