I don't really understand, since you didn't really explain *what* 
you were trying to do before pasting that code, but for what it's 
worth, there *is* static foreach is supported in D, via 
typetuples. Once you are inside a static you can evaluate the arg 
statically.

import std.typetuple, std.stdio;
void main()
{
   foreach(I; TypeTuple!(0, 1, 2))
   {
     static if (I == 1)
       writeln(I);
   }
}

As you can see, this compiles, meaning the if is evaluated at 
compile time. Does this help you?

I'm currently working on a static Iota. Details here:
