Any reason why ++1 is not folded to a new constant?

I've reached a similar problem in another language and I wanted
to see what is the D policy. I've been surprised by the result.
It seems that there's no special case for compile-time-only
values, eg this case of RValue:
---
void main()
{
writeln(++1); // NG: cannot modify constant `1`
}
---
is there any reasons why ++1 is not optimized to 2 ?
Thanks for the enlightment.
