1. File a bug. inout is apparently not resolved properly by DMD in this 
case.

2. Apply this workaround to make the compiler shut up (and probably to 
make your code less bloated by extraneous template instances as well :o)):

class C(T) { inout this(inout(T)) { } }
inout(C!T) slice(T)(inout T c){ return new C!T(c); }
void main() { [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].slice(); }
