It's been mentioned to me that type inference is used here. However, one 
could argue that the CTFE doesn't need to complete in order to infer the 
type, the function is not a template or auto function.

In addition, if I change the declaration to:

static string moddata = ...;

It still takes 1 second to compile mod1.
