The D spec says "String literals are immutable (read only)." even in D1. So
code like this

char[] a = "ABC";
a[0] = '!';

is illegal (and will segfault on linux!).

Array literals are allocated on the heap (the D spec explicitly says so) and
will thus behave fundamentally different from string literals.
