Compiling the above code with dmd -c parent.d results in the following error:
helpers.d(1): Error: function `helpers.ctfeFunc` circular dependency. Functions
cannot be interpreted while being compiled
childa.d(5):        called from here: `ctfeFunc(true)`
helpers.d(8):        called from here: `ctfeFunc(false)`
childb.d(5):        called from here: `ctfeFunc()`
