---------
int[3] abc;

    $(P Passing abc to functions results in these implicit conversions:)

---------
void func(int[3] array); // actually <reference to><array[3] of><int>
void func(int* p);       // abc is converted to a pointer
                         // to the first element
void func(int[] array);     // abc is converted to a dynamic array
---------

w.r.t. comments:

For the first func: This is only true in D1.

For the second func: I didn't even know worked in D2. But I don't see the
benefit of such a conversion (perhaps interfacing with C?).

For he third func: I thought we always had to use a slice, but it seems to work
without it. How come?
