dmd refuses to compile the following legal code:

[CODE]
struct Foo {

    union {
        struct {
            float x,y,z;
        }
        float[3] _v;
    }

    static Foo bar(){
        Foo f;
        return f;
    }
}

void main() {
    const Foo foo = Foo.bar();//Error: cannot evaluate bar() at compile time
}
[/CODE]

i hope i am right that it should work and is valid code.
