Example: http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/31b055067ef4

This fails because the while is being checked against a string. Replace "enum"
with "string" in main, and it compiles and executes at runtime.

I also posted this to the forums, which contains the link to a longer example
(after Dustmite, but before manual cleanups):
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/jpkvrfzooezplmckofjt@forum.dlang.org#post-qxaqnmoifiubktfuyjcw:40forum.dlang.org

It works on LDC 1.076 and DMD 2.x Git (cfb5842b49) (how old is that?),
according to Dpaste, but not on DMD 2.065 (both Dpaste and my Ubuntu 64bit).

- Olav.
