Why doesn't this work then?

First, this compiles for me. Not sure why it doesn't for you.
Second, stringof is your friend. Coupled with pragma(msg, ...) It allows
you to "view" the type of an expression at compile time:
pragma(msg, typeof({return 1;}()).stringof);
Which when compiled on dmd 2.047 linux, prints:
int
Tested with dmd 2.048 on win7.
pragma(msg, "module:"~typeof({return 1;}()).stringof);
void main()
{
pragma(msg, "main:"~typeof({return 1;}()).stringof);
//typeof({return 1;}()) a; // found 'a' when expecting ';' following
statement
}
prints
module:int
main:int
Ahh. It fails on 2.047 also if you put the statement inside main. If you
declare it outside main, it works.
Looks like a bug. Please file http://d.puremagic.com/issues/enter_bug.cgi
