newCTFE in the end, has a lot less benefit than I first assumed.

Currently it is missing execption handling, and associative array 
support.
And of course there are some bugs in the featureset which is 
supported.

If I had had a good integrated profiler back then, and some of 
the code which I have access to now, I would probably never have 
started newCTFE, and would have tried to fix the template system 
itself.
