Do array literals still always allocate?

import std.random;
import std.stdio;
int[4] testfunc(int num) @nogc
{
return [0, 1, num, 3];
}
int main()
{
int[4] arr = testfunc(uniform(0, 15));
writeln(arr);
return 0;
}
I've read a bunch of stuff that seems to indicate that array
literals are always heap-allocated, even when being used to
populate a static array. However, testfunc() above compiles as
@nogc. This would indicate to me that D does the smart thing and
avoids a heap allocation for an array literal being used to
populate a static array. Is all the old stuff I was reading just
out-of-date now?
