Good question. :)

When you can or want to compute something at compile-time, when you need values to feed to templates, etc.

but you can *can* do that with static const /const/immutable variables too:

auto fun2(int a)(int b){...}

immutable a=fun(2);//static const /const/immutable/enum

auto b=fun2!a(3);
