It seems matter only the _method_ of initialization.

int[char[]] eroMatrix = ["SA":1, "SB":2, "SP":3, "KK":4]; // literal

eroMatrix["00"]	= 9 ; // direct

foreach(k; eroMatrix.keys.sort) {
	writef(k, "->", typeid(typeof(k)), "->") ;
	writefln( eroMatrix[k]);
  }

 >>> OUTPUT:
00->const(char)[]->9
KK->const(char)[]->
Error: ArrayBoundsError aatst(10)

PS:D 2.0 change the key's type from char[] to const(char)[], D 1.0 not.
