why do i need the static? (is that not supposed to prevent insertations of new scopes inside the braces? is it really needed?)
You can possibly use normal if but most likely you will get compilation errors from other conditional branches as they will use parameter type in semantically incorrect way. `static if` avoids compilation of not matching blocks and does not have this issue. You can explicitly define new scope using one extra pair of braces if you want it.
