    static if (i == 0)

There is a workaround, if it's of any use.

template GetArray(uint i)
{
    static if (i == 0)
        const GetArray = ([1u] ~ GetArray!(i + 1));
    else
        const uint[] GetArray = [];
}

const uint[] array = GetArray!(0);

----------
One more test case. Fails with error "semicolon expected following auto declaration, not '~'".

template GetArray(uint i)
{
    static if (i == 0)
        const GetArray = [1u] ~ GetArray!(i + 1); //fails
    else
        const uint[] GetArray = [];
}

const uint[] array = GetArray!(0);

This works in current dmd 1.068 and 2.053.
