          Issue ID: 21449
           Summary: parser reject constructor call to
                    const(SomeStructDecl)
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: rejects-valid
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: b2.temp gmx.com

using the ctor as an unary in an expstmt is an error (no effect) but for static
opCall this can be valid.

struct Foo
{
    static opCall(T)(T t){}
}

void main()
{
    Foo(0);         //OK
    const(Foo(0));  //NG
}
