You have to admit that static is used in a lot of different 
places in D. It doesn't always mean something like compile-time 
either. For instance, a static member function is not a compile 
time member function. However, I doubt something like this is 
going to change, so it doesn't really bother me.

I liked the way that the Sparrow language (from the presentation 
you posted a few weeks ago) did it. Instead of static if, they 
use if[ct].
