------- Comment #4 from matti.niemenmaa+dbugzilla at iki.fi  2007-12-13 04:40 -------
It has never compiled, neither in 1.0 nor in 2.0.

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/expression.html#AssocArrayLiteral gives the
example "[21u:"he",38:"ho",2:"hi"];" but doesn't assign it to anything. It also
says "[a]n AssocArrayLiteral cannot be used to statically initialize anything."

This means that code of the form "<associative array type> foo = <associative
array literal>" doesn't work, nor has it ever.

Unless code like the following fails, this is an invalid bug:

int[char[]] a;

static this() {
        a = ["aa":1,"bb":2,"cc":3];
}
