Summary of Problem

The following works nicely

type D = [0..1] int;

however if I wrap that definition inside a function test for UnitTest

use UnitTest;

proc testNotWorking(test: borrowed Test) throws {
  type D = [0..1] int;
}

UnitTest.main();

When compiling with chpl tmp.chpl I get the error

tmp.chpl:4: In function 'testNotWorking':
tmp.chpl:5: error: Iterators not allowed in first class functions
tmp.chpl:4: In function 'testNotWorking':
tmp.chpl:5: error: Iterators not allowed in first class functions
