Well, you can propose it, but it really doesn't fit with how static if
works. static if doesn't have anything to do with control flow, whereas what
you're proposing here would, which would arguably make it that much more
confusing. I confess that I don't understand what the problem is with simply
adding an else block. It's simple, and it works right now without any
language changes.
