Bug 8233 – std.array.array fails to compile with ranges of immutable elements which have a length property

This fails to compile import std.array; void main() { dstring d = "hello world"; auto e = array(d); } giving /home/jmdavis/dmd2/linux/bin/../../src/phobos/std/array.d(55): Error: result[i] isn't mutable q.d(6): Error: template instance std.array.array!(immutable(dchar)[]) error instantiating If you use string rather than dstring, it works just fine. The line that fails to compile in std.array.array is in the hasLength!Range portion, so clearly it's an issue specifically with ranges which have a length property.
