The best thing about language features, that you don't have to
use them. I just very recently started using certain language
features (eg. templates, conditional compilation), and for a long
time I used it like Java without forcing classes into everything.
Often I just don't find a use for them, so I won't make the
compiler to do CTFE if it's not needed.
