Greetings.

I know that I can declare an array with data, ie.

string[] d = ["1","2","three","4];

and this will be done at compiled time.  I want to do the same 
with an associative array., ie.

int[string] MyDigits = ["0" = 0, "1" = 1, "2" = 2];

That does not work.  I also tried,

int[string] MyDigits = ["0" : 0, "1" : 1, "2" : 2];

Nope, it does not work either.  Any thoughts?  thanks.

That's actually only at compile time if it is in static scope, if 
it inside a function, it is a runtime array.

But anyway..

 int[string] MyDigits = ["0" : 0, "1" : 1, "2" : 2];

this works at runtime inside a function, but does not work at 
compile time at all, in any version of D (as of right now); the 
compile-time AA to static data was never implemented.

You could possibly do a custom implementation though.

True.

 int[string] MyDigits = ["0" : 0, "1" : 1, "2" : 2];

Darn it!  I tried to see if I could get it set at compiled time.  
Thanks, and thanks for your wonderful knowledge and gift to D.  
Big fan of your work.  Thanks.
