int[string] initHash(in string[] words) {
        int[string] h;

        for (auto i=0; i < words.length; i++) {
                h[words[i]] = i; // Compiler points to this line and says:
Error: non-constant expression ["abc":0,"def":1,"ghi":2]
        }

        return h;
}

int[string] hash3 = initHash(["abc", "def", "ghi"]);


Or is this a case of the compiler trying to be helpful and giving a misleading
error message? (I.e. the error is supposed to be on the line that initializes
hash3, but the compiler is pointing to the cause of the supposed non-constancy
of the value.)

I tried changing initHash() to construct a hash literal as a string and using
mixin() to initialize hash3, but that didn't work either.
