immutable string[string] priorityMap = [
"1" : "blocker",
"2" : "critical",
"3" : "critical",
"4" : "major",
"5" : "major",
"6" : "major",
"7" : "minor",
"8" : "minor",
"9" : "trivial" ];

main.d(56): Error: non-constant expression ["1":"blocker", "2":"critical", "3":"critical", "4":"major", "5":"major", "6":"major", "7":"minor", "8":"minor", "9":"trivial"]

This is tedious, how long has it been now?
Seriously, static map's are super-important, they should be able to be made
immutable, and also be able to be initialised.

Maybe this could be factored into the improvements for 2.065?

The workaround is simple at global scope, but I agree it clutters the code:

  immutable string[string] priorityMap;
  shared static this() {
      priorityMap = [
      "1" : "blocker",
      "2" : "critical",
      "3" : "critical",
      "4" : "major",
      "5" : "major",
      "6" : "major",
      "7" : "minor",
      "8" : "minor",
      "9" : "trivial" ];
  }

A work-around of that type required by a core language feature is not a sign of quality...

It get's me every single time, and I forget and have to go and find out why
again each time.
Please, fix it finally.

this work ok for me:

immutable priorityMap = [
        "1" : "blocker",
        "2" : "critical",
        "3" : "critical",
        "4" : "major",
        "5" : "major",
        "6" : "major",
        "7" : "minor",
        "8" : "minor",
        "9" : "trivial" ];

And even this works ok:

immutable string[string] priorityMap = [
"1" : "blocker",
"2" : "critical",
"3" : "critical",
"4" : "major",
"5" : "major",
"6" : "major",
"7" : "minor",
"8" : "minor",
"9" : "trivial" ];

Ohh, but non works on module scope, so yes, it would be fine to fix this

but enum works fine:

enum priorityMap = [
    "1" : "blocker",
    "2" : "critical",
    "3" : "critical",
    "4" : "major",
    "5" : "major",
    "6" : "major",
    "7" : "minor",
    "8" : "minor",
    "9" : "trivial" ];

So it does... I didn't think of an enum AA ;)

I think yes, it can be done for 2.065.  Someone remind me if we get close and it isn't done yet.
