 For next release
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- "999 as ubyte" won't be const folded away and gives compiler crash
 - pipe operator: allow non-unary function calls in the pipe that specify the other argument(s) in the calls.
 - createAssemblyAndAssemble(): make it possible to actually get rid of the VarDecl nodes by fixing the rest of the code mentioned there.
 - allow "xxx" * constexpr  (where constexpr is not a number literal), now gives expression error not same type
