Confusing example that breaks "looks like C, acts like C" rule.

----------------------------

struct foo {
    int i;
};

foo[] blah = [ { 1 }, { 2 } ]; // fine

void main()
{
    foo[] blah = [ { 1 }, { 2 } ]; // Error: array initializers as expressions
are not allowed
}

----------------------------

This probably happens because assigning a lambda literal has higher precedence
in grammar than struct initializer. However, difference between global
initialization with forced compile-time evaluation and normal initialization
should be extremely confusing. Especially for people coming from C/C++.
