This won't work without a way to mark `genStuff` as CTFE
only. Which doesn't exist currently.
Compiler has to know that a given execution context is CTFE
only otherwise disallowed.
1. Any proposals to mark a function as CTFE only?
No, this is something that should've been done a while back.
The main concern is that you can get a linker error if you
don't emit a function that was called.
Actually, in your example, don't see the problem.
'mixin' operates to provide text to the compiler _prior to_ run
time.
Therefore, even if 'genStuff()' has a run-time (as well as)
compile-time meaning,
the use of mixin should force the compile-time meaning to be
taken.
So no ambiguity?
