bool nobool(T...)() {
      bool result = true;
      foreach (i, U; T) {
          static if (is(U == bool)) {
              result = false;
              break;
          }
          else
          {
              ...
          }
      }
      return result;  // emits "Warning: statement is not reachable"
}

Note that the optimizer will remove the dead loads.
