The following used not to work in v2.063.2:

    const a = "a";
    const b = a ~ "b";
    const(char)* output = b;

    $ Error: cannot implicitly convert expression ("ab") of type
const(immutable(char)[]) to const(char)*

Although this worked:

    const b = "a" ~ "b";
    const(char)* output = b;

Now both work. I assume it was the fix for this issue (10724) that also fixed
this? I say fixed because at first glance the old behavior seems wrong, but it
seems such a basic statement that I wonder why this wasn't spotted before, or
if I'm making a mistake. So please confirm this change in behavior was also
desirable.
