In the second case the type inference of the compiler may find the types from
the AA literal itself:
auto hashtable = MyHashTableType ["hello" : "world];
Bye,

If that were the case, I'd want the compiler to scan *all* the key/value
pairs for instances of derived types (rather than just being based on
the first K/V pair, like is currently the case with other array literals).
For example (using tango classes, where HttpGet and HttpPost are both
subclasses of HttpClient):
// Type is: MyHashTableType!(string, HttpClient)
auto hashtable = MyHashTableType [
"get" : new HttpGet(),
"post" : new HttpPost()
];
