For example, I'd like to declare a variable inside a static foreach like in below code, just for better organization, otherwise, I have to use the value directly instead of the variable. If the value is used more than once, it might be inviable.

I got redefinition erros of "atributes" on this. Can I have this only at compile time?

I don't think you need static for foreach of __traits allMembers/derivedMembers and .tupleof. It unrolls at compile-time and builds fine for me if I just remove the statics. https://run.dlang.io/is/Ln3kVZ

> /*static*/ foreach(C c; attributes)
Mind that c will not be of type C but of the type of the attribute.

The trick with static foreach is to create a new scope:

DIP1010 [1] suggested __local but while this is implemented, it it's not exposed yet.
There's also a bit of discussion about this at [2].
