Folding in C++ is a way to escape from the recursive template 
parameter parsing which is in my opinion one of the most horrific 
things in C++ there is.

Folding in C++ is perhaps "powerful" but at the same time 
unreadable.

D doesn't need folding and should use compile time for loops 
instead which is much more readable.
