Makes sense to me.

This is awesome news!  Glad to hear there's steady progress being made
on the new CTFE engine.  Can't wait for it to be done and merged into
master!  There are so many awesome things I wanna do with CTFE that
currently would be unacceptably slow.  Can't wait to take D compile-time
capabilities to a whole 'nother level!
