What reason for such restrictions? It's fundamental idea or temporary implementation?
I think it's a dmd limitation. Currently it has a bug that it can still generate code for ctfe templated functions, and they will fail to link if they use runtime. So yeah, currently betterC really means betterC all the way down. The alternative is to compile without -betterC switch and just use a minimal runtime if you use runtime features, then you have full language in ctfe.
