Trying to use GIT_STATUS_OPTIONS_INIT.
https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/blob/main/include/git2/status.h#L265

But I'm getting the following error.

unable to translate C expr: unexpected token '{'
pub const GIT_STATUS_OPTIONS_INIT = @compileError("unable to translate C expr: unexpected token '{'"); // /usr/include/git2/status.h:265:9

GIT_STATUS_OPTIONS_INIT is {GIT_STATUS_OPTIONS_VERSION} which is {1}. These are not expressions, which are legal in a standalone context, so zig does not know how to translate them.

it looks like that's meant to be used as a struct initializer, but zig can't know that without context
