Context

odin report:

Odin:    dev-2024-09:c1264c2a7
OS:      EndeavourOS, Linux 6.10.10-arch1-1
CPU:     Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz
RAM:     23801 MiB
Backend: LLVM 18.1.8

Consider the following code:

foo :: proc(a, b: [$N]$T) -> [N*2]T where N * 2 < 16 {
	// do some stuff here
	fmt.println(N * 2)
	return [N * 2]T{}
}

Everything else works, except the part where we multiply N by two in the return type.

Expected Behavior

To be able to perform arithmetic operations on polymporhic variables, like in the function body or where clauses.

Current Behavior

It throws the following error:

/home/user/projects/tests/main.odin(15:31) Error: 'N' is not an expression but a type, in this context it is ambiguous
        foo :: proc(a, b: [$N]$T) -> [N * 2]T where N * 2 < 16 {
