The main reason is that AA literals already have an incompatible semantic.

pragma(msg, typeof(["0": ubyte(0), "1": ushort(1)]));

prints int[string]

Heterogeneous AA literals would require to move that type coercion from
the compiler into the AA constructor.
That's bad b/c the behavior of the literal would depend on the callee.
And it would be difficult to avoid type conversion at runtime and
template bloat for each different literal.
