Compound literals can't be used as default parameters

[BFG10K]

Since default parameters aren't standard C, I'm unsure if this is a bug or intended.

It'd be really nice if it worked, so we can pass default arrays into functions.

void function( int* param = ( int[] ){ 1, 2, 3 } ){ //This doesn't work
 int* local = ( int[] ){ 1, 2, 3 }; //This works
}

No, nothing to do with the /Zx compiler switch.
