It took me a while to convince myself that there is no bug here. The 
problem, as is obvious to others, ;) a whole slice of a whole slice is 
still the same slice. So it's not possible to go deeper into the element 
slices. Here is a proof with a simple array:

     int[] a;
     static assert(is(typeof(a[]) == typeof(a[][][][])));
