I had no involvement with it at all.

Although, when we originally banned implicit conversions from arrays to 
pointers, it was because it was _the_ most common bug in D code. 
Especially when you pass a char[] array to an extern(C) function that 
accepts a char *. It really was a disaster.

Just add .ptr if you want to convert it to a pointer. It's beautiful, 
really.
