Maybe the name @force_ctfe is misleading. But, like I said: "the 
attribute @asdf would make it so that the function is guaranteed 
to execute at compile-time when its arguments are compile-time 
constants". Never do I say that the attribute would prevent 
run-time evaluation. The function would behave just like 
constexpr functions do in c++ (although, in c++ what those 
functions can actually do is much more limited).
