I guess static opDispatch does not exist? Any reasons why it doesn't
exist or is it just a bug? It looks like a bug, since the pragma prints.
Returning nothing, doesn't change anything btw.

Try removing the 'const' - static methods have no 'this'.

Error reporting for optional templated methods that exist, but fail
to instantiate, can be very misleading; calling such methods explicitly 
sometimes helps to identify the problem.
