Yeah, something fishy is happening here (tested with dmd 1.013). This code

  template Foo(A...)
  {
    const char[] values = A[1].stringof;

    pragma(msg, A.length.stringof); // 1)
    pragma(msg, values);
  }

  void main()
  {
    alias Foo!(1,1,1,1,1) val;
  }

returns
  5
  5

but commenting the line 1) makes it return '1'. Also the compiler should
be able to infer the type of 'values' when 'char[]' is omitted, but it
doesn't. So, at least two bugs here.
