   I've found discussions, but not an actual "recommended" solution for the
problem of "statement is not reachable" warnings in templates with early
returns, e.g.:
```
bool nobool(T...)() {
     foreach (i, U; T) {
         static if (is(U == bool)) {
             return false;
         }
     }
     return true;  // emits "Warning: statement is not reachable"
}

bool nobool(T...)() {
     bool result = true;
     foreach (i, U; T) {
         static if (is(U == bool)) {
             result = false;
             break;
         }
         else
         {
             ...
         }
     }
     return result;  // emits "Warning: statement is not reachable"
}

Note that the optimizer will remove the dead loads.
