Initializers for constants and statics are evaluated at compile time.
User-defined operators rely on user-defined functions, which cannot be evaluated
at compile time.

Bad example:

```
use std::ops::Index;

struct Foo { a: u8 }

impl Index<u8> for Foo {
type Output = u8;

fn index<'a>(&'a self, idx: u8) -> &'a u8 { &self.a }
}

const a: Foo = Foo { a: 0u8 };
const b: u8 = a[0]; // Index trait is defined by the user, bad!
```

Only operators on builtin types are allowed.

Example:

```
const a: &'static [i32] = &[1, 2, 3];
const b: i32 = a[0]; // Good!
```

Static and const variables can refer to other const variables. But a const
variable cannot refer to a static variable. For example, `Y` cannot refer to `X`
