That was not an alternative.
That is what your code was doing.
What my original code was supposed to do. But it did not
compile.
Error: array index [0] is outside array bounds [0 .. 0]
Error: string slice [1 .. 0] is out of bounds
My question is if it is intentionally failing to compile a
static if guard clause.
The site you cited for the guard clause above (c2.com)
works at runtime. The intention is to shorten the paths inside a
function, I think. Therefore, a static "guard clause" is a
contradiction, if I understand it correctly.
The constraint in form fun(...)(...) if(...) is a static
construct. Therefore, all parts should be mentioned statically.
And by
https://dlang.org/spec/version.html#staticif
paragraph: 24.5.4.2
a static if does not introduce a new scope. So, the argument
about arrow code is not valid here.
