There is no change in behaviour due to stack-allocating the 
literal in the static array assignment (or just not emitting it 
at all), at least if GDC correctly implements slice <- sarray 
assignment. The dynamic array never "sees" the literal at all, as 
shown by Timon.

In the general case (i.e. when assigned to dynamic arrays), you 
obviously can't stack-allocate literals, but I don't think we 
disagree here.
