It is not a bug. A string literal such as "true" is a char[] type (UTF8),
and the compiler will not implicitly convert UTF8 to UTF16 (wchar[]).

You can tell the compiler that the string literal is meant to be UTF16 by
added the suffix 'w' to the literal ... "true"w, and in that way no
conversion is required.

If for some reason you did want a run-time conversion then this should work
...


wchar[] w = std.utf.toUTF16((true)? "true":"false");
