please, no. introduce `final static if` or something, but don't 
do this with `static if` itself. it makes special case `static 
if` (one more special deviation to remember, oh, noes), and DMD 
interproc analysis is non-existing, so `static if (...) { 
functionThatAlwaysThrow(); }` would fail. and even if it 
wouldn't, it is still bad, as now i have to guess if that 
function "never return" or no.
