The best thing about language features, that you don't have to 
use them. I just very recently started using certain language 
features (eg. templates, conditional compilation), and for a long 
time I used it like Java without forcing classes into everything. 
Often I just don't find a use for them, so I won't make the 
compiler to do CTFE if it's not needed.
