ctfe is a runtime condition. The function has the same code when 
run at compile time, it is just being run in a different 
environment.

 ctfe is a runtime condition. The function has the same code 
 when run at compile time, it is just being run in a different 
 environment.

Note that if(__ctfe) does not incur a runtime performance 
penalty. Even in debug builds will the branch be removed.
