I think it's a bug.

```d
void f(T)(const(T)[] x, const(T)* y) {}

void f2(T)(const(T)[] x) { pragma(msg, T);}
void f3(T)(const(T)* y) { pragma(msg, T);}
void test()
{
     int*[] x;
     const int* y;
     f2(x);  // int *
     f3(&y); // const(int)*
     f!(const(int)*)(x, &y); // ok
}
```

I tried reversing the order to see if it figures out to use 
`const(int)*`, but it doesn't work.
