RE: [sv-bc] "Assignment ... to a constant expression"

By the way, I just found the following example in 6.19.5.7:

typedef enum { red, green, blue, yellow } Colors;
Colors c = c.first;

This indicates that the 'point of declaration' is before the
initializing expression (as I would personally would expect).
