Does anyone know how to fix this? Can we please do so? It's been a
problem for like 5 years it seems.
It's a bit insane that we can't resolve any non-linear functions at
compile time.

I was looking for a relevant issue in the bug tracker. I stumbled 
upon issue [1] and pull request [2] which was closed for the

2. Other CTFE math can not be implemented until CTFE-able unions.
