Maybe. Just an example of a real world code:

Arrays:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/fc45de1d089a1025df60ee2eea66ba27ee0bd99c/src/core/sys/windows/dll.d#L110

vs

Hex strings:
https://github.com/denis-sh/hooking/blob/69105a24d77fcb6eca701282a16dd5ec7311c077/tlsfixer/ntdll.d#L130

By the way, current code isn't affected by the topic issue.
