First off, thanks for letting be pass the mid-terms! Also big ups 
to everyone who supported me and my project by diligently filing 
issue reports and giving me comments on the project blog! :)

I'm currently finishing the pre-compile time expression 
evaluation and later on, I'll bind it to the actual completion 
process.
That Template Parameter Deduction part is a small part of it - 
it's e.g. used in is()-Expressions and when handling variables 
that are declared with template parameters - I mean, for a better 
completion, it's rather preferable that a T myVariable is 
'filled' with a concrete type than a generic type only.

Ambiguous method overloads will be filtered out once I finished 
the evaluation, like it'll 'know' e.g. that I want to call the 
second overload of stdio.writeln if I type writeln("Hello 
World"); -- And imho, that's slightly great! ;)

The expression evaluator will be extended by CTFE (step by step 
of course) later on. It's of course a very critical and 
uber-large piece of software that I want to handle there - but 
I'm optimistic, at least in terms of getting a quick'n'dirty 
approach and finally realizing that entire thing 100%ly.

Nevertheless everything will be awesome later on! ;D
