I start to suspect my attempt to 'enhance' ComptimeStringMapto return an
interface is currently not possible, since if I understand correctly,
Zig dosn't have first-class functions yet. Which is probably why it
returns a struct as 'type'. Learning :)
Just a thought, any plans to add a comptime allocator? I managed to
avoid allocators everywhere so far, but a comptime one might be useful
for these sort of comptime data structures?
Cheers, Peter
