One solution to this issue would be to have an unconstrained temple
that contains nothing but prgam(msg,"...") inside static ifs. That
way failing the constraint produces a nice message and then, because
the template has nothing it it, using it for almost anything will
generate an error and block compilation.
I will try this solution, thank you. But cputs will be useful
regardless. You can usually find a twisted way to solve most
problems, but keeping pragms(msg) in D is not good, it's a temporary
solution at best. One of the 'temporary solutions' in D that risks to
stick around forever, I fear.

pragma(msg) was NOT intended for metaprogramming. It's an accident
that it works at all for the things people are using it for.
Yes but a very useful accident. And a use that ctputs doesn't match up with.
