I'm actually asking why we can't catch the ctfe error. It's quite obvious
that it is a temporary limitation of ctfe, there have been many limitations
removed over the years.

Surely the ctfe engine could be changed to catch unsupported code errors.
(Not invalid, just unsupported at CT).

The ctfe engine would have to "go past" the try anyway, right? This is the
part I don't understand. Is it because ctfe actually hasn't started yet and
some other analysis is freaking out?
