First it's [..] not (..) for array literals.
Second, current D behavior is to take the type from the first element, 
rather than doing something useful like figuring out the best type that 
can hold all the elements.

So you have to tell it you want it to be a list of dynamic arrays by 
making the first one a dynamic array:

char[][] titles = [" "[], "C", "!", "Description", "Resource", "In 
Folder", "Location","foo" ];

I think that does it.  If not maybe you have to use the [] on all of the 
strings.  I don't recall.
