The rules for CTFE are outlined in the docs [1]. What is
described there is all there is to it. If those criteria are
not met, the function cannot be executed at compile time. More
importantly, as mentioned earlier in the thread, CTFE will only
occur if a function *must* be executed at compile time, i.e. it
is in a context where the result of the function is required at
compile-time. An enum declaration is such a situation, a
variable initialization is not.

Those links are extremely useful. Many thanks. Because I am full
of NHS pain drugs, I am pretty confused half the time, and so
finding documentation is difficult for me through the haze, so
much appreciated. RTFM of course applies as always.
