Bug 10251 – CTFE: Allow returning pointers to global static variables of known value

This is a bug. It works if the variable doesn't have a known value! It also works in optimize(WANTinterpret) but not CTFE, ---- static const int glob10251 = 7; const (int) * bug10251() { return &glob10251; } static a10251 = &glob10251; // OK static b10251 = bug10251(); // Fails --- bug.d(10): Error: cannot use non-constant CTFE pointer in an initializer 'glob10251'

They should stay as a SymOffExp, even if their value is known.
