Thanks, this works flawlessly. Out of interest: what is the "enum" doing there? I had the exact same behaviour in a function before, that I only called at compile-time, so why did it complain then? Can I somehow tell the compiler that a function should only be available at compile-time?
The enum (which in D is not only for enumerations, but also for "manifest constants") ensures it is evaluated at compile-time, since things are only evaluated at compile-time if they have to.
