Fixing const arrays

I think that change proposed by Andrei A. (that I like) doesn't add a special case to D2. Currently (2.057beta) this works:


void main() {
    immutable(int[]) a = [1, 2];
    immutable(int)[] b = a;
}

Calling a function that accepts a immutable(int)[] with a immutable(int[]) means creating a local slice, it's similar. So I think Andrei A. removes a special case.
