Thanks, how do I store it as enum or static immutable struct member?

In

@trusted pure unittest
{
     class C { int value; }
     C x;
    C y = cast(C)((cast(size_t*)null) + 1); // indicates a lazily deleted key
     struct S
     {
         enum C hole1 = cast(C)((cast(size_t*)null) + 1); // TODO make work
        static immutable C hole2 = cast(C)((cast(size_t*)null) + 1); // TODO make work
     }
}

both `enum` and static` immutable` member declarations fail to compile with the same errors:

Error: cannot perform pointer arithmetic on non-arrays at compile time
Error: cannot perform pointer arithmetic on non-arrays at compile time

My only possible solution so far is to return the expression from an inline member function which I guess cannot be optimized as good as comparing to a compile-time value.

Weird, I would have expected to be able to map addresses at compile time, I suppose the way you could work it is:

pragma(inline, true)
C lazyDeleted() pure nothrow @trusted { return cast(C)((cast(size_t*)null) + 1); }

Then you can simply use this like it was an enum or immutable. It should go away in terms of a function call.
