struct Foo {
    char[3] data;
}
int bar(Foo f) {
    return f.data[0];
}
void main() {
    auto f = Foo(['A', 'B']);
}


DMD 2.061alpha:

test.d(8): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (['A','B']) of type
char[] to char


A better error message is:

test.d(8): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (['A','B']) of type
char[] to char[4]

Or even something like:

test.d(8): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (['A','B']) of type
char[] to char[4] ('Foo.data' field)
