It's not a performance issue.
You can't do this:
if(_ctfe)
to!string(...);
else
toStringNow!(...);
because the toStringNow!(...) won't compile, because it's argument is
not a
compile-time value.
Well, first, I was unfamiliar with toStringNow (I thought it was simply a
different function), but second, all you need is a ctfe-able toString
function. to!string should be ctfe-able for many things, a lot of work is
going into making things in phobos more compile-time ready and pure-ready.
about non-functional style templates:
When you have a complex computation in your templates, you're forced to
create
additional private templates to divide the computation and put it
together in a
single expression.
Can you give an example? I'm still not understanding why you can't just
use ctfe.
