           Summary: No short-circuit evaluation for compile-time
                    expressions?

I think this is arguably not a bug in the same way that compile-time "?:"
expressions evaluate both their arguments regardless of which is selected, but
it's definately non-intuitive:


C:\code\d\bugs>type 149_2.d
import std.c.stdio;

void main()
{
    static if( int.mangleof.length > 1 && int.mangleof[1] == 'x' )
        printf( "'x' as second char\n" );
}
C:\code\d\bugs>dmd 149_2.d
149_2.d(5): array index [1] is outside array bounds [0 .. 1]

C:\code\d\bugs>
