The ironic thing is that if you wanted to implement a CTFE sine function right
now, table lookup is probably the most reasonable way to do it.


Anyway, I like the general idea, and I think the same thing goes for many other
things, like string formatting functions.  There's a perfectly fine string
formatter in std.string.format.  It's a shame the compiler isn't able to invoke
it during compile time.
