According to the spec, only variables, fields, and types support the .init property. But all kinds of other things compile:

int foo() { return 1; }

static assert(foo.init == 0);

This gets changed into typeof(foo()).init.

Pull request: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/2240

This fails Phobos unit tests in multiple places, for example:

std/traits.d(3654): Error: static assert  (is(void == double)) is false

With constructions like:
template Foo(T...)

     T[0].init
is OK if T[0] is a type, but if it is a value, it won't compile.
It is in fact pretty bizarre that 2.init == 0, so this should probably be
changed.
