          Issue ID: 12880
           Summary: [REG2.066a] Wrong IFTI for string.init argument
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: regression
          Priority: P1
         Component: DMD
          Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
          Reporter: sludwig at outerproduct.org

The following code  errors out on DMD master (works correctly on previous 
releases):
---
void test(T)(in T value) { static assert(is(T == string)); }
void main() { test(string.init); }
---

DMD v2.066 DEBUG
bug_dmd_templ.d(1): Error: static assert  (is(const(immutable(char)[]) == 
string)) is false
bug_dmd_templ.d(2):        instantiated from here: 
test!(const(immutable(char)[]))

The "const" should be dropped for the inferred template argument.
