           Summary: Please allow pure functions with input known at
                    compile time to be executed at compile time

Distinction between compile-time and run-time arguments is not intuitive when
the input is constant and function is pure:


pure bool isEmptyString(string str) {        
    static if (str == "") return true;
    return false;
}

void main()
{
    static if (isEmptyString(""))
    {
        pragma(msg,"works?");
    }
}
