This is additional and special behaviour and it destroys the
orthogonality of 'static if' and 'return'. (I don't feel
strongly about the change, but the idea that the new behavior
should be expected anyway is flawed.)
Alright, I have to range myself with most here. While I'm all
for not warning about unreachable code, I'm opposed to not
compiling the rest of the code. This create non orthogonality
between static if and control flow analysis, the kind that
clearly do not pay for itself.
Okay, I'm convinced.
