           Summary: Misleading error message for static const initialisation
           Product: D
           Version: 0.174
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: diagnostic
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P5
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: deewiant@gmail.com


class C
{
        static const int x;

        this() {
                x = 2;
        }
}

The above code errors out with "Error: can only initialize const x inside constructor". This is rather unclear, as x _is_ being initialised inside a constructor. The compiler should notify that the variable is static and thus needs to be initialised in a static constructor.
