Thoughts?
That's not a static foreach. It's a normal run-time foreach. The switch
jumps into the loop body without the loop head ever executing. The
compiler is correct when it says that initialization of li is being skipped.
Make `list` an enum or alias instead. Then the foreach is unrolled at
compile time, you don't get a deprecation message, and it works correctly.
By the way, in my opinion, `case li[0]:` shouldn't compile with the
static immutable `list`. `list` and `li[0]` are dynamic values. The
compiler only attempts (and succeeds) to evaluate them at compile time
because they're typed as immutable. The way I see it, that only makes
things more confusing.
