Why does it not allow that? Is that just a limitation of the
compiler? If yes, what is the error happening? This question is not
exactly answered yet as of this thread. I may be missing a reference
about that in the upstream docs, but I see nowhere an explanation
about the reason and the why. That's also one of the first questions
from Thomas upthread.
