Posted an updated version, but it is still a draft:

BTW, have you seen the video by Bret Victor entitled "Inventing
on Principle"? This should be a use case for DCT:

The most important part for the average (nongraphical) developer
is his demo of writing a binary search algorithm. It may be
difficult to use an ordinary debugger to debug CTFE, template
overload resolution and "static if" statements, but something
like Bret's demo, or what the Light Table IDE is supposed to do...
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ibdknox/light-table
...would be perfect for compile-time debugging, and not only
that, it would also help people write their code in the first
place, including (obviously) code intended for run-time.
P.S. oh how nice it would be if we could convince anyone to pay
us to develop these compiler tools... just minimum wage would be
soooo nice.
