Well, the two guys with an alternative proposal
(concepts-lite) seem to hate
static if (along with a third guy).
There seems to be a lot of strawman arguments in this paper.
Many of the criticisms in the paper are addressed by our
positive experience with static if in D.
I think the hard-to-analyze argument is a good one.
I've created an enhancement for some analysis we could do without
too much work:

(I think my bug report shows a bigger problem with static if,
than is reported in the paper; the problems arise only when you
have two static ifs in the same scope).
