I think that's the point of the attribute. You tell the
compiler that this function can only be called at compile-time
and any attempt to call it during run-time would be an error.
If all you need is a runtime error, you can already put
assert(__ctfe); in your function.
It's to avoid having a run-time error, so something that would
produce a run-time call gives a compile-time error.
