Bug 12876 – Implicit cast of array slice to fixed-size array for templates too

I am not sure this is a valid enhancement request. This code could be accepted: void foo(int[4] b) {} void bar(size_t N)(int[N] c) {} void main() { int[5] a; foo(a[1 .. $]); // OK bar(a[1 .. $]); // Error. } DMD 2.066alpha gives: test.d(6,8): Error: template test.bar cannot deduce function from argument types !()(int[]), candidates are: test.d(2,6): test.bar(uint N)(int[N] c)
