## Message

````
inferred comptime values rather than elided scopes

because of this example:

```zig
export fn entry(b: bool) usize {
    var runtime = [1]i32{3};
    comptime var i: usize = 0;
    inline while (i < 2) : (i += 1) {
        const result = if (i == 0) [1]i32{2} else runtime;
    }
    comptime {
        return i;
    }
}
```

The problem is that the concept of "resetting" a result location,
introduced in the previous commit, cannot handle elision scopes.
This concept is inherently broken with inline loops.
