uint[3] foo;
alias foo[0] bar;

Error:
test8.d(2): Error: alias test8.bar cannot alias an expression foo[0]


Since foo is a static array and 0 is a compile time constant, there is no
reason this shouldn't work.  It works with tuples, and static arrays really
should offer a superset of tuple functionality because they are implemented the
same way as tuples with all the same type.
