Except that the standard *EXPLICITLY* says that a "constant expression"
*CANNOT* contain a , operator.  Period.

This is like a "C compiler" that does not diagnose the syntax error in:
	// foo
... it doesn't matter how *sensible* it may seem, The Standard makes it
quite clearly a syntax error *requiring* a diagnostic.
