Test program:

import std.stdio;

char[] ctfeFun() {
    char[] stuff = "This is clearly a bug.".dup;
    foreach(ref c; stuff) {
        c = 'X';
    }
    return stuff;
}

const compileTimeResult = ctfeFun();

void main() {
    writeln("Compile time:  ", compileTimeResult);
    writeln("Run time:  ", ctfeFun());
}

Output:

Compile time:  This is clearly a bug.
Run time:  XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Marking as severe because, IMHO, anything that silently results in subtly
defective code being generated is pretty serious.  If this can't be easily
fixed, then it should be an error.
