Yes, I see the problem now. "static if" isn't even the worst 
offender, any kind of string mixins that generate the call to 
`bar` are impossible to detect without having actual `foo` 
instance. Sorry for misinterpretation.

With that in mind second option is starting to look more 
attractive despite the grammar change - forcing good chunk 
template API into structs does not sound very convenient :(
