It will break code.

immutable(int)[] a = ...;
immutable(int)[] b = array(a);

This breaks if array returns int[].

I propose this is closed. array is one of the most commonly used functions in
Phobos; I really can't see an API change for it ever happening -- especially
one that is of debatable value.
