Is it possible to add items to the arrays and hashes at compile time?

It is possible but not exactly as you wrote. In other words, it is not 
as flexible.

The way I understand it and the way it makes sense to me, :) variables 
that are generated at compile time can be initialized only once. It is 
not possible after initialization. However, the initialization of the 
variable can be as complex as needed:

enum int[][int][int] ctHash = init_ctHash();

int[][int][int] init_ctHash(){
     auto result = merge(firstPart, secondPart);
     result[4] = [4 : [4, 4 ]];
     return result;
}

(I couldn't get ctHash[4][4] to work; so I changed the code like above.)
