If `i[0].max` should be accepted, how about this?

struct S
{
    int[] arr;

    static void foo()
    {
        auto x = arr.map!(x => x*2).filter!(x > 4).array[0].max;
    }
}

The part expression `arr.map!(x => x*2).filter!(x > 4).array[0]` is never
evaluated, because it is just used for calculate its type. It looks much weird
to me. I think such *implicit typeof* feature is not good. Instead:

        auto x = typeof(arr.map!(x => x*2).filter!(x > 4).array[0]).max;

is much better. I think language should enforce the latter.
