C++17 is looking more and more like D everyday, just with a noisy
and messy syntax. I found this proposal of interest:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2015/n4461
Especially this comment in the last paragraph:
...since it's not identical or even very similar to the static
if in D, ...
I don't quite get this because to me it seems to be simply a
subset of the D feature. Also the examples shown are basically
how I use the D static-if now.
If anyone knows why the proposal claims to be so different from
D's static-if (modulo the restrictions mentioned) I'd be
interested to know why.
Thanks,
