immutable(int*)* and int** do not combine even though const(int*)* would be a
common type:

immutable(int*)*    x;
int**               y;

static assert(is(typeof(x) : const(int*)*)); // ok
static assert(is(typeof(y) : const(int*)*)); // ok
static assert(is(typeof(1?x:y)));            // fail


Compare to dynamic arrays:

immutable(int[])[]  a;
int[][]             b;

static assert(is(typeof(a) : const(int[])[])); // ok
static assert(is(typeof(b) : const(int[])[])); // ok
static assert(is(typeof(1?a:b)));              // ok

(why on earth do the two cases use different logic?)

Therefore the following could be used as a workaround:

static assert(is(typeof((1?x[0..1]:y[0..1]).ptr)));
