When Moritz commented on your use of 'do' as a function name, that may have been unnecessary for a discussion of your problem.
I would contend that when discussing semantics (that is the PL's syntax is not open for change as part of the discussion) it's common courtesy to use valid syntax. You're right in that it was unnecessary to discuss the issue he was describing, but it was relevant to me as a matter of principle.
That is, until we have a functioning __ctfeWrite in druntime. The function is already in druntime's object.d, and is just awaiting an implementation[2]. That implementation will possibly have to wait for Stefan's CTFE makeover to complete.
Well, my implementation attempt I linked to earlier [1] passes the auto tester for the test in Stefan's original PR and so far it works as expected in all my personal cases. If you find something wrong with it, please comment on the PR's page :)
