CTFE Status

[Stefan Koch via Digitalmars-d]

Hi Guys,

I just figured out why array constants did not work as function 
arguments.
It's because the array-constant undergoes a cast when used as 
slice, while an array literal can be taken as is.

The currently newCTFE does not really provide the capabilities to 
handle casts.
This is another issue that has to be addressed before 
function-calls come into play.

Within the engine dynamic and static arrays are represented in 
the same structure.
Therefore we don't need to take action on such a cast as long as 
the element types are the same.

While simply ignoring the cast-expression is correct in the case, 
I need to systemize the handling of casts better.
