void main() {

This seems to work:

Date defDate() pure { return Date(1929, 10, 29); }
const(Date) DefaultDate = defDate();

Assuming you wanted to avoid a initializing inside a static 
this().

 This seems to work:

Or:
const(Date) DefaultDate = { return Date(1929,10,10); }();
although this is getting cryptic.

It appears to work if you just do

const defaultDate = Date(1929, 10, 29);

But please report this as a regression:
