Recursive template problem

I've had similar problems of recursive template construction, so since there are several posts, maybe we'll have some answers.

That's right. I am using D for numerical computations, so fast-executing 
code is essential. Therefore, I want to use static arrays whenever 
possible, and instead of having to write

   foreach (real r; v) sum += r;

or similar, i would like expressions such as

   sum = v[0] + v[1] + ...

to be created at compile time for arrays of any given length. I was 
kinda hoping templates could provide a solution...
