           Summary: inline asm offset expression looks like array indexing

            Status: NEW

void foo()
{
    size_t[3] regs = void;

    asm
    {
        mov regs[1], RAX;
    }
}

regs[1] is interpreted as add the offset of regs to 1,
i.e. *cast(size_t)((cast(void*)&regs + 1).

This can already be expressed by one of the following two alternatives.
1[regs] or [regs + 1]

I think we should make this syntax an error, it's too easy to confuse with
array indexing. In the longterm we might consider to interpret this as array
indexing.
