Compile-time constness is waaay to strict!

I've reduced it to this:


bool isEmptyString(string str) {		
	static if (str == "") return true;
	return false;
}

void main()
{
	static if (isEmptyString(""))
	{
		int x = 1;
	}
}


test.d(5): Error: expression str == "" is not constant or does not evaluate to a bool
test.d(11): Error: cannot evaluate isEmptyString("") at compile time
test.d(11): Error: expression isEmptyString("") is not constant or does not evaluate to a bool
