I suppose it's because enums are manifest constants: the value they
represent is 'copy-pasted' anew everywhere it appears in the code. So
for arrays and associative arrays, it means recreating a new value
each and every time.
In your case, your code is equivalent to:
assert (!sameTail(DataAndView(1).data,DataAndView(1).view));
And the two DataAndView(1), being completely separated, do not have
the same tail.
Yes, this should work (and execute the initializer at compile time):
static b = ...

Ah, the problem with static is that I want to use the values at compile
time to create other values. Using static puts construction between
compile time and run time. Initialising in static this means that the
symbols need to be declared without initializers and that means not
disabling default construction ><
