Hi Guys,

Due to improved ABI handling a subset of slices of complex 
structs work now :)

The following code will correctly compile with newCTFE.

struct NA
{
     string name;
     uint age;
}

NA[] make5(string name)
{
     NA[] result;

     foreach(i; 1 .. 6)
     {
         string nameN = name ~ [cast(immutable char)('0' + (i % 
10))];
         result ~= [NA(nameN , i-1)];
     }
     return result;
}

static assert (make5("Tony") == [NA("Tony1", 0u), NA("Tony2", 
1u), NA("Tony3", 2u), NA("Tony4", 3u), NA("Tony5", 4u)]);

As soon as the foreach-loop is iterated more then 1000 times you 
will see a 7-10x speed improvement :)
