Feature requests / make sf::Vector2/3<T> classes have constexpr constructors and functions

Pretty much in the title

Currently such code does not compile:

constexpr sf::Vector2u tile_size{64, 64};

GCC 5.1 output: (-std=c++14)

In file included from ../src/Application.cpp:4:0:
../src/Global.h:25:40: error: the type 'const Vector2u {aka const sf::Vector2<unsigned int>}' of constexpr variable 'constants::tile_size' is not literal
 constexpr sf::Vector2u tile_size{64, 64};

D:\Files\C++\include/SFML/System/Vector2.hpp:37:7: note: 'sf::Vector2<unsigned int>' is not literal because:

D:\Files\C++\include/SFML/System/Vector2.hpp:37:7: note:   'sf::Vector2<unsigned int>' is not an aggregate, does not have a trivial default constructor, and has no constexpr constructor that is not a copy or move constructor

It would be a convenient feature, and it's probably easy to implement
