Description Andrej Mitrovic 2011-02-24 14:20:01 UTC 
// Ok
enum : int[string]
{
   Circle = ["CoolCircle":50]
}

//  Error: non-constant expression ["CoolCircle":50]
enum shapes : int[string]
{
   Circle = ["CoolCircle":50]
}

Tested on XP32 && Ubuntu32.

Not a bug, the first declaration is essentially a horrible way to write:

enum int[string] Circle = ["CoolCircle":50];

While the second is an enum declaration, and enums do not support AAs as a base type.
