template Foo()
{
    const char[] Foo = [];
}

static assert (Foo!() == ""); // ok
pragma(msg, Foo!()); // fails (1)
mixin("int i;" ~ Foo!()); // fails (2)

void main()
{
}

Error messages without line or file:
(1) pragma msg string expected for message, not '[]'
(2) attribute argument to mixin must be a string, not ("int i;" ~ [])
