Your templates are not clumsy, it's typically the way some other PL would
process lists/arrays. I used to write a lot of these. But 6 months ago, CTFE
got seven-leagues boots and right now it's much easier on the eye to use CT
functions.

There used to be a time, maybe not 18 months ago where returning static
arrays from functions was not possible, IIRC. Right now, I think you can use
them with no problem. Maybe someone well-versed in optimization will tell us
it's not a good idea, I don't know.
