Is it the volcano pattern you are looking for?

Wow, now that _is_ clever. I think that is definitely a big
part of it.
Now somehow after having used a static if to select the
known-at-compile-time case I then have to test the argument
for particular values.
So how to get the next step along the way?
Would it be ok to ask Walter maybe ? I am so far out of my
depth here tho.
If you are that far, then it seems simple. You always call it as
a template:
T myfunc(uint mask, T)(T x) {}
In myfunc you decide if umask is compile time or not. If not,
then call a templated function with static if's for specific
values, otherwise call the regular function.
