Is this one of them?

	int[5] array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
	array[1..3] = [0, 0];

Or, more likely returning a non-built-in range type is one of them:

	MyContainer container = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
	container[1..3] = [0, 0];

and you'll have to write it like this:

	MyContainer container = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
	MyRange range = container[1..3];
	range = [0, 0];
