Tbh, the target of making a vm for compile time code was too high 
of a jump, hence epic crash. Before even attempting to do a vm 
for the compile time code, the compiler itself should've been in 
right state to be able to reuse existing components.

The target for new ctfe should've been something less grandiose, 
than full blown vm, and backend for it.

I really, anticipated that feature, since aedi (dependency 
injection lib) I've written relies on heavy template recursion 
and hence high compile time, and got really disappointed when 
nothing really came out of all advertising I've been seeing that 
time, really it should've been kept quiet, or as concise as 
possible instead of being loud all over forums.

R.I.P. (as far as I know) new ctfe on fancy vm.

Regards,
Alexandru.
