static const (D 1.x)

[Bill Baxter]

I've got a situation like this:

struct A
{
   opEquals
   int idx = -1;
}


class Foo(Type)
{
    ...
    static const A  StaticA;
}


But it doesn't work when I try to do something like this in a function:


    A myA;

    if (myA == Foo!(Type).StaticA) { // <-- error here
    }

The error I get is:
    Error: can only initialize static const StaticA inside static 
constructor

Is this a bug?
I notice that it compiles if I make StaticA just "static" instead of 
"static const".

At the very least the compiler error text seems wrong since I'm not 
trying to initialize anything.
