           Summary: ICE, expression.c line 6246, accessing element of a
                    tuple built from a nonexistent array element

template Foo(T...) {
        typeof(T[0]) x;
}

alias Foo!(""[$]) foo; // can't use e.g. [][0] because it's detected as out of
bounds

Output of the above:

asdf.d(5): Error: expression [][__dollar] is not a valid template value
argument
Assertion failure: 'e1->type' on line 6246 in file 'expression.c'

abnormal program termination

Using "" in place of [] as an empty array instead generates the rather
incorrect error message:

asdf.d(5): Error: string index 0 is out of bounds [0 .. 43867541830893568]
