Is this because it isn't possible to do such things, or
because it would be rather pointless to do so compared to
simpler approaches, (in this case calling the C function
output by flex/bison).
I think it is just that nobody has tried yet. There are parser
generators that work at compile time in D though
https://github.com/PhilippeSigaud/Pegged for example
I think it's not the only reason. I've tried to do something
similar but not all libraries can be used at compile time. E.g:
let's try to read a xml file at compile time...
