If any errors have occured during compilation, the CTFE engine won't even try. It just reports "function XXX cannot be interpreted at compile time" for every invocation of CTFE. Eg, in the test suite interpret3.d, if you add an 'assert(0)' to the first test, more than a hundred spurious error messages are generated.
