I guess I gave you a wrong impression of how pure relates to CTFE 
over here: 
<http://forum.dlang.org/post/hdzhkxqgcpsuovciflxj@forum.dlang.org>. Sorry 'bout that.

There, your function wasn't pure which made CTFE impossible. But 
being pure is not enough for a function to be CTFEable. The 
source code needs to be available, too. And then there are things 
that are ok in pure functions but simply don't work in CTFE.
