Given:

static const char* three()
{
    return "three";
}

static const char* const a[] =
{
    "one",
    "two",
    three()
};

8.5.1.2 of the standard says that an array can be initialized with a
comma-separated list of initializers for the members of the aggregate.
However, is it legal to initialize one of the members of the static array
'a' with a function call?  Why or why not?
