Issue ID: 24566
Summary: condition that starts with runtime value and uses
compile time array does not short circuit
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: rejects-valid
Severity: normal
Priority: P1

If I mix a runtime and compile time expression in a condition, short circuiting
doesn't prevent a compile-time bounds check for constant folded arrays.
```d
enum a = true;
bool b = true;
enum str = "a";
if(a && str.length > 1 && str[1] == 'a') {} // ok
if(b && str.length > 1 && str[1] == 'a') {} // compiler error
if(!b && str.length > 1 && str[1] == 'a') {} // compiler error
if(str.length > 1 && b && str[1] == 'a') {} // ok
```
The error is:
Error: string index 1 is out of bounds [0 .. 1]
If the runtime condition is not first, then it compiles.
Note that even if the runtime condition is false and should short circuit the
whole thing, the compiler still errors.
As far as I can tell, this has always been the case, so not a regression.
Though a related issue might be issue 22646.
