See my example in the other post. IMO what I want to achieve is a very 
simple example but the implementation I came up with is far from being 
simple.

No, my point is that CTFE and meta-programming seems to be much simpler 
and powerful if I can use a more functional programming approach for 
it. Working with powerful lists and data = code and code = data concept 
would simplify this.
