And how is your proposed @force_ctfe attribute going to solve this issue? If you're forcing CTFE, by definition you don't have runtime support.
Maybe the name @force_ctfe is misleading. But, like I said: "the attribute @asdf would make it so that the function is guaranteed to execute at compile-time when its arguments are compile-time constants". Never do I say that the attribute would prevent run-time evaluation. The function would behave just like constexpr functions do in c++ (although, in c++ what those functions can actually do is much more limited).
