There's a bugzilla issue preapproved by Walter with `auto ident = 
exp` syntax:

There was already a pull request that was rejected before the 
preapproved status:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/2270

It allowed `ident = exp` and `storage_class ident = exp`. The 
former should be disallowed - use `auto` instead.
