Brief description of problem.

DMD doesn't allow the following code, whereas GDC and LDC accept and are able
to generate code for (be it slow or optimised from constfolding) the below:


import core.simd;
void main() {
    double x = 1.0, y = 2.0;
    double2 a = x;       // Error: Floating point constant expression expected
    double2 b = [x, y];  // Error: Floating point constant expression expected
}
