What I think about enchancement of static if is that it could be
interesting to have `elif` keyword like in Python, so instead of
static if (...)
{
}
else static if(...)
{
}
else static if(...)
{
}
else
{
}
I could write shorter:
static if (...)
{
}
elif (...)
{
}
elif(...)
{
}
else
{
}
In other hand it maybe not got idea to have multiple syntax just
for the same think. But we already have multiple syntax for
template constraints
template AA (T: int) {}
or
template AA(T) if ( is( T: int ) ) {}
And also shorthand for template using *alias* was added recently:
alias AA(T) = ...
So my idea could survive too.. :) Bad thing here is adding the
new keyword, but I don't think that people using word `elif` for
names of their variables or functions, if they don't write Python
parser of course :)
