However, I'm wondering why most (everyone?) is trying to do

code-generation etc. needs some other approach. If you look at
all the strange template syntax, strange hacks etc. it's all
far from being obvious.
I have trouble coming up with a proper use-case to use Regex
during CTFE; I mean, sure you can do a replacement expansion
and encode a few bits to expand for a switch statement or
something, but at the same time you can already do that.
Wrong thread?
