There seems to be a problem with automatic type deduction of
nested array literals.


import std.stdio;

// This one compiles, (but causes runtime access violation if used)
auto gfoo = [[1.0],[2.0]];

void main() {
   writefln(typeid(typeof(gfoo))); // --> double[1][2], ok


   // this one doesn't compile
   auto foo = [[1.0],[2.0]];

/*
Error: cannot implicitly convert expression ([[1],[2]]) of type
double[][2] to double
*/

}
