You (or me or someone else) may add this to Bugzilla:

char[2] foo() {
    char[2] code;
    code[1] = "";
    return code;
}
struct Bar {
    int i = mixin(foo());
}
void main() {}

If bar() returns a char[], it means it returns a dynamic array. char[8] inside bar() is allocated on the stack, so if you convert a static array to a dynamic array, it doesn't get copied (no return by value), the dynamic array is just a reference to the stack memory, and this is a bug. If bar returns a char[8] there is no error in D2 because fixed-sized arrays get copied by value.
