Ouch!

That could be bad where the evaluation of the expression has side 
effects or is time (when not how long) critical.

volatile char* vcp;
log("data is now: "~(vcp[0..10].dup));

Will the (char[]) form ever get called?

Any expression can be converted into a anon-delegate, so anything that 
would work for the first, also works for the second. How is one picked 
over the other?

This seems to be an "oddity" in the overload rules.
