I think if() offers better error messages here (I have not tried it in this case, so I may be wrong).
Even if I am right, it's not inevitable, GCC shows to give better error messages (better == the first line of error shows the line number where you have tried to instantiate the template).

I have tried to ask this (simple?) but handy feature to LDC developers, but they have answered me that it's something that has to be done by the front-end (by Walter, mostly), so it's not something LDC devs want to to add just to LDC for me :-)
