I have just used a static assert version of that in about one hundred places in
my dlibs, with good results, thank you :-) It has replaced lot of commented out
and mostly useless lines of code with actual code that can spot problems at
compile time. This begs for compiler (or standard lib) support, I think.
On the topic of idioms: I may also use an idiom just shown to me by downs, to
allow "passing" "function templates" to other functions:
_sum { T opCall(T)(T[] array) { ... } } _sum sum;
That's another situation where I think some built-in syntactic sugar can be
useful. Do you have ideas regarding a possible syntax/statement?
