Without -dip1000, treating the result as @safe would be a huge mistake, because
slicing a static array like this is inherently unsafe. The fact that the
compiler does not treat slicing static arrays as @system without -dip1000 and
scope is a bug (and it's in bugzilla somewhere, but I don't feel like searching
for it at the moment). And on that note, the function would have to accept the
static array by ref, or it would have a huge @safety bug.
